Balancing the Vision Within: The Science of Orthoptics

Eye movement and eye-hand coordination disorders are specific areas of eye care that are aimed at diagnosis and treatment through orthoptics. It is essential in the treatment of conditions such as strabismus, double vision, and binocular vision aberrations. Orthoptic therapy enhances a patient's productive vision by improving muscle coordination and eye alignment. Orthoptists collaborate closely with ophthalmologists to develop an individualized form of treatment, which could involve eye exercises, prisms, or vision therapy. This specific practice does not just enhance visual performance, but it also helps in enhancing eye health and general visual stability in everyday functions.
