The work of orthoptists involves the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions. Orthoptists help with eye conditions that people are born with or develop, including retina damage and reduced vision due to a squint. They also treat adults and children with eye movement difficulties due to diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, trauma, and strokes. Some orthoptists specialise in conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration.
