Orthoptics

Orthoptists assess and diagnose disorders of vision, binocular vision (how the eyes work together as a pair) and ocular motility (eye movements). We offer treatment and management of those conditions where appropriate.

We serve both children and adults in an outpatient setting and take referrals from consultant ophthalmologists and paediatricians, GPs, health visitors and optometrists.

We also see patients from the maxillo-facial department, falls clinic and the head injury unit.

The service is provided by qualified orthoptists supported by visual field technicians and administative staff. All our orthoptists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.
