Orthoptists specialize in identifying and treating childhood eye disorders, eye movement abnormalities, and binocular vision problems.

During the first year, you'll study the visual system, optics, basic and advanced Orthoptics, pediatric eye care, and neuro-ophthalmology.
The second year focuses on research techniques, statistical analysis, general ophthalmology, medication dispensing (specific to Orthoptics), and hands-on clinical training. You'll develop your research abilities by completing a literature-based project on an orthoptic or ophthalmic practice topic.
