Vision problems? Find out how to solve them with orthoptic exercises.
Do you ever get a headache after a day at the computer?
Do your eyes often feel tired or heavy, even if you can see well?
Do you notice that reading tires you out, making you lose your place, or struggling to maintain attention?
Does your child avoid reading or tire quickly when reading?
Have you changed glasses, but the discomfort hasn't gone away?
If you recognize yourself in even one of these situations, it's possible that the problem isn't the prescription, but the way your eyes work together.
Common, often underestimated ailments
Many people live with daily symptoms such as:
recurring headaches
eye strain at the end of the day
difficulty concentrating
slow or tiring reading
unstable near vision
feeling tired even with apparently good eyesight
In children and adolescents, these signs may manifest as:
poor academic performance
refusal to study or read
poor posture during homework
decreased attention span
These problems are often attributed to stress or prolonged use of smartphones and computers. In reality, the cause can be visual and functional.
When the problem isn't "how much you see," but how your eyes work
Seeing well doesn't automatically mean seeing without fatigue.
There are situations in which:
the two eyes do not work together efficiently
convergence is insufficient
eye movements are not well coordinated
the visual system tires quickly under stress
In these cases, vision is present, but the visual system functions inefficiently, generating stress, fatigue, and persistent symptoms.
To identify these conditions, an assessment other than the traditional eye exam is required.
What is a specialized orthoptic exam?
A specialized orthoptic exam is an in-depth evaluation that analyzes the functioning of the visual system, not just the quality of vision.
It allows us to evaluate:
how the eyes move
how they work together
how they work at close range
how they respond to prolonged visual effort
It is a crucial exam when symptoms are present, but glasses "seem fine."
Our approach: orthoptic exercises and targeted refractive testing
We have not offered standard solutions since ten tenths.
Each treatment plan begins with a thorough assessment and is tailored to the individual's actual needs.
Personalized Orthoptic Exercises
Orthoptic exercises serve to:
improve the collaboration between the two eyes
make eye movements more efficient
increase visual endurance
reduce fatigue and symptoms
These are not generic exercises: they are adapted to the patient's age, lifestyle, and the type of difficulty encountered.
Functional Refractive Control
In some cases, even a small optical correction, if carefully planned, can significantly reduce symptoms.
Refractive control is always evaluated in relation to visual function, especially for close-up work and prolonged use of digital devices.
Follow-up and Monitoring
The process doesn't end with the first visit.
We evaluate progress over time and, if necessary, modify exercises and solutions to achieve a stable result.
Who benefits from this type of evaluation?
Specialized orthoptic treatment is recommended for:
School-age children and adolescents
University students
Professionals who work long hours at a computer
People with recurring visual headaches
Those who see well but are overly tired
Often, correct intervention leads to tangible improvements in daily life.

Headaches, tired eyes, and difficulty concentrating shouldn't be considered "normal."
When the problem isn't vision itself, but the way the eyes work, a different approach is needed.
Through specialized orthoptic examinations, targeted exercises, and a thorough refractive check, we've been helping people regain more efficient, stable, and comfortable vision for ten tenths of a century.
