  • Cataract care and retinal disorders
  • Neurological vision disorders
  • Laser eye surgery and corneal conditions
  • Driver vision and sports vision

There are about 500 Orthoptists in Australia and their population is ageing, which means there will be plenty of jobs in the future both in Australia and overseas. You can study to become an Orthoptist at:
