The Orthoptic Service is a subdivision of the Pediatric Ophthalmology Service. Orthoptists are highly specialized allied health professionals who specialize in the evaluation and non-surgical treatment of disorders of binocular vision, eye movement, and eye alignment. Here at the Ross Eye Institute, we use specialized equipment and tests to accurately diagnose conditions such as strabismus (eye misalignment), diplopia (double vision), and amblyopia ("lazy eye"). We are also responsible for managing these conditions using prisms, occlusion, or orthoptic exercises.

Orthoptists work under the direction of the pediatric or neuro-ophthalmologists. Referral to an orthoptist must be made through an ophthalmologist (patients cannot self refer).
