[10] 2020, Irish Association of Orthoptists, 'About us' states there "are currently 40 orthoptists working in Ireland, many of whom are part-time. We work mainly in the public service, either in hospitals or in the community setting, though many of us also work in the private sector".

Read the DSP overview to learn more about the scheme and how to qualify. In children, an uncorrected refractive error can result in amblyopia, often referred to as ‘lazy eye’. This can result in reduced quality of life and impact on life choices, such as available career options. The good news is that with early diagnosis and treatment vision can often be improved and means that most children start life with better vision in both eyes. Read the DSP overview to learn more about the scheme and how to qualify. There are two main types of macular degeneration – ‘dry’ and ‘wet’. The wet form requires urgent medical attention to minimise the risk of severe vision loss, so it is important to seek urgent advice and support if you have any symptoms of macular degeneration. If you have dry macular degeneration, your local optician can help you with ongoing advice and support. Learn more about macular degeneration. In the early stages of glaucoma, people are not aware their vision is reducing. That is why it is important to have regular eye examinations. This is even more important if you are in a higher risk group, for example, if you have a family history of glaucoma or are of African, Caribbean or Asian descent. Learn more about glaucoma.
