Orthoptists are the experts in diagnosing and treating defects in eye movement and problems with how the eyes work together, called binocular vision. These can be caused by issues with the muscles around the eyes or defects in the nerves enabling the brain to communicate with the eyes.

The session will be interactive so there will be lots of opportunity to ask questions about what it is like to train and to be an Orthoptist.
