Optometry is the science that studies, prevents and treats the whole spectrum of sight problems. The optometrist is responsible for making an initial assessment of the patient and works in coordination with the ophthalmologist in treating visual dysfunctions.
- What fields does optometry cover?
- Study of the refractive condition: detection, measurement and compensation for myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism.
- Study of the binocular and accommodative system: diagnosis and treatment of non-strabismic dysfunctions of the binocular system and the accommodative system (focusing system).
- Diagnosis of strabismus and amblyopia (lazy eye).
- Study of the processing of visual information; that is, how all visual information is interpreted (very important in children of school age).
- Area of visual ergonomics, responsible for studying the relationship with the environment and giving advice on environmental changes: lighting, working distance with close vision, postures, etc., for both work and school.
- What is orthoptics or visual therapy?
Visual therapy is an optometric technique based on visual exercises with the aim of resolving the various dysfunctions that can be improved. These techniques are aimed at optimising the different visual abilities, such as convergence, divergence, capacity to stimulate or relax the focal system, improvements in eye movement and even improvement of visual perception processes.
- Who is it suitable for?
Visual therapy is recommended for anyone (children, young people or adults) suffering from any visual dysfunction that has not been resolved with the appropriate optical prescription. It is also suitable for those who show symptoms associated with any visual task resulting in poor performance at school or work.
- Which dysfunctions can be treated with visual therapy?
- Binocular and accommodative problems. In cases of strabismus where surgery is appropriate, it is recommended to have visual therapy before and after the operation to achieve optimum results.
- Elimination of sight problems that interfere with learning, particularly reading and writing. Performance at school and work.
- Recovery of a lazy eye (amblyopia). Early detection is important to obtain good results, although it can be treated at any age.
- Monitoring the development of myopia in order to halt or slow its progress.
- What are the symptoms to take into account?
In children
These are some of the symptoms that could indicate at problem in a child to be treated with visual therapy:
1 Slow reading
No Yes 2 Poor reading comprehension
No Yes 3 Uses a finger for reading

No Yes 5 Excessive head movement during reading
No Yes 6 Inverts letters and/or numbers
No Yes 7 Mixes up right and left
No Yes 8 Narrows the eyes when looking far away
No Yes 9 Gets too close when reading
No Yes 10 Blurred vision at any distance
No Yes If you have answered yes to more than two questions, it is a good idea to consult a child ophthalmologist or optometrist. He or she will indicate the necessary treatment.
In adults
The most common symptoms of the dysfunctions to be treated with visual therapy in an adult are the following:
1 Blurred long-distance vision
No Yes 2 Blurred close vision
No Yes 3 Concentration difficulties
No Yes 4 Itchy eyes / Red eyes
No Yes 5 Cannot carry on reading/writing for more than 10 minutes
No Yes 6 Vision is blurred on getting up after a task using close vision
No Yes 7 Vision is blurred when switching from long-distance to close
No Yes 8 Headaches
No Yes 9 Discomfort and fatigue associated with close vision tasks
No Yes 10 Words in text appear to move
No Yes If you have answered yes to more than two questions, it is a good idea to consult an ophthalmologist or optometrist. He or she will indicate the necessary treatment.
- What other services do optometrists offer?
- Advanced orthokeratology. This is a treatment with inverse geometry contact lenses acting on the cornea and reducing myopia up to 2.50 dioptres.
- Monitoring myopia with RGP contact lenses.
- Guidance, coordination and monitoring in LASIK refractive surgery for seeing well without glasses when there is myopia, astigmatism and hypermetropia. Study and exhaustive assessment in each case so a decision can be made with complete security and confidence.
- Contact lenses, for all cases and types. Tired vision (presbyopia), astigmatism, keratoconus (conical deformity of the cornea).
