Our Orthoptic team at WHH offer a wide variety of specialised services including: - Special Educational Needs - Stroke and Neuro Rehabilitation - Visual Processing Difficulties - Vision Screening - Glaucoma - Medical Retina #WHHOrthoptics

Our Orthoptist Kath leads our Visual Processing Disorders clinic. This clinic looks at critical aspects of vision which are necessary to read effectively and access education. #WHH #MyEyesMyOrthoptist #BIOS

All set up and ready to talk to children at a local primary school about #Orthoptics and the importance of looking after our eyes! @FollowBIOS

At #WHH, a vision assessment form is completed for all patients over 65. This can help to identify patients who may have visual problems and would benefit from an Orthoptic assessment in order to reduce the risk of falls. #MDT #BIOS #FallsPrevention

Our Orthoptists are celebrating #AHPsDay and we will be sharing pictures of some of the team throughout the day to explain more about their roles. #spottheduck
