Visual treatments

 

Orthoptics

 

Working closely with the ophthalmologist, our orthoptist will help you with the re-education and rehabilitation of certain visual disorders such as strabismus, amblyopia, convergence problems, etc…

 

The aim of these sessions is to strengthen the eye muscles with exercises tailored to each type of pathology.

 

Before starting treatment with an orthoptist, a thorough examination by an ophthalmologist is essential to rule out any pathology requiring more extensive treatment.
