Orthoptics
'Orthoptics'
means 'straight eyes'. An orthoptist is an allied healthcare
professional who works in conjunction with an ophthalmologist (a medical
doctor and surgeon specializing in the eyes). An orthoptist assesses
patients who have an eye that wanders. The eye may wander in, out, up,
down, or in any combination. The orthoptic examination helps to
determine the appropriate treatment to straighten the wandering eye
(e.g. glasses and/or surgery).
The orthoptic
exam, which takes an average of 15 minutes, consists of: measurements of
how much the eye turns in various positions using prisms, eye muscle
motility, an assessment of binocular function and double vision, and
visual acuity (what can be seen with each individual eye will be checked
using letters or pictures). The commonest orthoptic treatment is
patching of the stronger eye to improve the vision in the weaker eye, as
the brain tends to stop using the eye that wanders. The testing is not
painful or distressing in any way to your child.
