Our orthoptists

BeyondEye currently has four orthoptists working for you in the vision school. This means we can guarantee the best care for our patients every day.

The main task of our orthoptists is the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of strabismus, visual impairment, eye tremors and eye movement disorders. As part of their work, they check vision, examine eye position and binocular co-operation. The complaints of our patients who visit our vision school are, for example, complaints about strabismus, complaints about double vision, eye muscle paralyses, reduced vision in one or both eyes, eye-related head misalignments, eye tremors, headaches and reading disorders.

Our orthoptists treat patients of all age groups. As a precautionary measure, it is mainly children of infant and toddler age who are examined. However, the growing demands on vision are increasing the number of adolescents and adults with visual disorders or complaints that are sometimes not initially attributed to vision. Examples of this include problems when working with computer screens, perceptual disorders and dyslexia.

In addition to these primarily traditional areas of work, our orthoptists also work in other specific areas, e.g. in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of visually impaired patients of all ages (low vision), patients with visual impairments following brain damage caused by an accident or stroke and in the orthoptic care of children and adolescents with developmental disorders.
