Efficiency of our visual system depends on efficiency of eyes, brain and the connection between the two. Any disturbance in this system may lead to Strabismus or Amblyopia.

In strabismus or crossed eyes, eyes are not in alignment . One eye may turn in or out, up or down, or may wander in several directions. It may be present all the time or may manifest only when a person is tired, ill, or concentrating intensely on objects.

In amblyopia or lazy eye one or both eyes stop functioning properly and the brain ignores or suppresses signals from poor eye.

Both Strabismus and Amblyopia can be treated, depending on the severity of the problem. An orthoptist trains the visual system to gain greater coordination and control so that both eyes can work as a team.

An Ocular Prosthesis is an artificial device that is placed in the empty eye socket to maintain its shape and is matched with the fellow good eye. An artificial eye is handicrafted by the Ocularist - a highly skilled specialist. The eye is crafted to match precisely the natural eye.

Sports are highly visually demanding occupation. Research has shown that even small visual deficiency in one eye can ruin the game of the athletes. Visual problems that are not explained and understood can have profound implications on athletes performance. Sporting success relies on visual efficiency, vision is the first source of information. A delay in receiving the information implies delay in response which in turn may lead to compromise in performance.

Our Sportsvision optometrist focuses mainly on this aspect to assess the players and athletes of highest level, relate their visual deficiency to their sporting performance and try to establish a reason for vision training to improve sporting ability. This is very critical at the highest level where difference between winner and loser not much.

Our low vision clinic is fully dedicated to the functional vision assessment of partially sighted people. We never say " nothing more can be done" to a partially sighted, rather we evaluate their residual vision and train them how to use it with the help of gadgets like magnifier, telescopes, visors, contact lenses, CCTV etc.

The examination conducted is success oriented, i.e, typical low vision evaluation is not aimed to convince the patient that his vision is poor, rather the patient is convinced that he has vision which is worth using and throughout the procedure the optometrist reinforces this idea. The desired end of the evaluation procedure is the prescription of low vision aid or service that will help the patient to some degree.
