Orthoptics is a specialized para-medical discipline used for evaluation, diagnosis and eventual treatment of defective eye movement and coordination.

Amongst others uses, Orthoptics allows for precise diagnosis of various squinting problems (Strabismus) in both children and adults, and enables efficient follow up of them. In addition, the discipline is also beneficial in the treatment of Latent Strabismus (Eye axis deviations) and eye-coordination problems.

Medical scales, the primary diagnostic techniques conducted in Orthoptic Eye Therapy, allow you to diagnose muscular deficiencies which serve as the source of various eye movement disorders (eye movement capability & eye coordination as a result of specific muscle activation) using instruments that are specifically designed for this purpose.

Why is Orthoptic Vision Therapy required for eye rehabilitation?

Eye rehabilitation provides quick results.

The visual system literally changes the way in which it functions within several weeks. By doing so, it actually illustrates both its flexibility and impressive adaptability to changes.

Although such flexibility allows for results to be seen within a relatively short period of time, it may also induce serious problems related to misalignment of the visual system.

For this reason, only qualified Orthoptists should conduct such visual rehabilitation treatments. They are the only qualified professionals within the medical services industry that are authorized to operate in this field.
