A series of community information brochures has been developed to inform health professionals and the wider community about the role of orthoptists in the treatment of disorders of eye movements and in diagnostic procedures related to disorders of the eye and visual system. Orthoptic treatment of certain conditions can relieve visual symptoms and enhance visual performance.

Written in simple language, the brochures cover areas such as neonatal care, paediatrics, rehabilitation, geriatric, neurological impairment, community services and ophthalmic technology.

Current titles are:

• Normal Visual Development: What does your child see?
• Turned Eyes in Children: Understanding strabismus
• Drivers With Vision Problems: Can they be helped?
• Stroke and Your Eyes
• Visual Rehabilitation by the Orthoptist
• Orthoptists in the Ophthalmic Setting
• Looking at Orthoptics: What is an Orthoptist?
