Following World Orthoptics Day, we think it's essential to highlight the crucial role of orthoptists in detecting visual difficulties. Orthoptics is a discipline dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of vision problems related to eye alignment and eye movements, such as strabismus, amblyopia and other binocular difficulties.

It is our mission to raise awareness of how orthoptics can make a significant contribution to improving patients' quality of life by detecting and helping to treat eye pathologies that often affect the ability to read, write, work or even carry out the most common tasks of our daily lives.

It's also essential to emphasise the importance of early detection and rapid intervention in visual problems, which are crucial for successful treatment, which is why it's necessary to carry out eye assessments regularly and be aware of the signs that may reveal the need to consult a specialist.

It cannot be emphasised enough that using the right corrective aids is the basis for good eye health. Take care of yourself and your vision!
