Royal College Ophthalmologists state low vision is ‘impairment of visual function for whom full remediation is not possible by spectacles, lenses, medical intervention and which causes restriction in that person’s life’. #LowVisionAwarenessMonth

Diplopia varies according to which muscles are defective. It can be horizontal, vertical, tilted or all three, and it’s truly awful.
Imagine this while waiting for a new diagnosis or prism. However temporary, it makes a huge difference to the patient to be offered a solution.

Using an Optishield on a child’s own glasses assists in assuring that it is not the occluding glasses themselves that the child is objecting to. Young patients with special educational needs and disabilities have taken to the frosted Optishield in preference to occluding glasses.

On World Orthoptic Day 2023, let’s hear it for orthoptists!

We asked what Optishields are being used for. Aided visual acuity testing. Checking the prescription of new spectacles. Temporary intractable diplopia. Conflicting dominant eyes in macular degeneration. Eye tracking. Visual evoked potentials. Clinical trials. The list is endless!

Congratulations to all, particularly James Wolffsohn and Simon Berry who have both been involved in the development and distribution of the Optishield optical occluder. Their enthusiasm and support for the Optishield has been greatly appreciated. optishield.co.uk

A professional usability study for medical devices is a great way to understand how the device can be of help to clinicians and patients. MD-TEC showed a 100% success rate, with Prof Wolffsohn reporting that the Optishield is “Really easy to use. Very simple clever concept”.

Hands-on viewing is often the point at which a new device makes most sense, a lightbulb moment when you get the chance to see it in action!
Optishield is excited to be a part of Precision-Vision.com at American Academy of Ophthalmology in Chicago this weekend, booth #2911.
Case studies are a great way to increase awareness and understanding of patient care.
Look out for The Optishield being presented as a solution for patient care at the Association for Independent Optometrists conference this weekend! aiovision.org/aio-conference…

Absolutely! That’s why the Optishield packaging was designed as a simple card cover. Fully recyclable and easy to open for those with reduced dexterity. The frosted Optishield is ideal for temporary, intermittent or intractable #diplopia.

As an #orthoptist I use #fresnel #prisms on a daily basis. I think I they make a huge difference to many #diplopia and #hemianopia #patients. plastic prisms are excellent light and flexible! But why does it need to be packaged in Plastic? #ClimateEmergency #environment #green
Whether it be temporary, intermittent or intractable, diplopia (double vision) is truly debilitating. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause so it is important to see your eye care provider as soon as you experience symptoms.#optometry #orthoptics #ophthalmology #diplopia
