​Meet Our Orthoptists: The Eye Physiotherapists

“Orthoptics is a very unique profession as it is such a niche area of eye care. I treat patients with eye disorders across all age groups. My four year-old son loves to visit my clinic. But he actually just wants to play with the toys and get a lollipop!”
