Day 5 – Orthoptics Awareness Week Finale πŸ‘οΈ

As we wrap up Orthoptics Awareness Week, Rafal is discussing one of the most iconic pieces of equipment in orthoptic practice: the Synoptophore.

The Synoptophore is used to assess and manage binocular vision disorders, helping clinicians evaluate eye alignment, fusion, and depth perception. Despite being a long-established instrument, it remains a valuable tool in the assessment and treatment of many patients.

Watch as Rafal explains how the Synoptophore works and why it continues to play an important role in orthoptic care.

Thank you for joining us throughout Orthoptics Awareness Week as we've shared just a small glimpse into the diverse and rewarding role of orthoptists. We hope you've enjoyed learning more about the profession and the important work orthoptists do every day to support patients and eye care teams.

Today, Steven is discussing one of the most valuable imaging technologies used in modern eye care: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).

OCT provides detailed cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve, helping clinicians detect, monitor, and manage a wide range of eye conditions.

Watch as Steven explains how OCT works, what it can reveal, and why it has become an essential tool in the diagnosis and management of ocular disease.

Stay tuned as we continue to showcase the diverse and important role orthoptists play in patient care throughout Orthoptics Awareness Week.

Today, our Orthoptic Team Leader, Mitchell Bagley, is discussing one of the simplest yet most valuable tests used in orthoptic practice: the Base-Out Test.

While straightforward to perform, this test provides important information about binocular vision and ocular alignment, helping clinicians assess how the eyes work together.

Watch as Mitchell explains the purpose of the Base-Out Test and why it remains a useful clinical tool in everyday practice.

Stay tuned as we continue to highlight the many skills, tests, and treatments that form part of the orthoptist's role.

We are proud to announce an exciting milestone at Marsden Eye Specialists.

After years of collaboration, feedback, training, and development with ZEISS Vision Australia, Marsden Eye Specialists has become the first clinic in Australia to receive and perform retinal imaging using the ZEISS CLARUS 700 with ICG angiography.

This advanced technology allows for ultra-widefield retinal imaging with enhanced visualisation of retinal and choroidal pathology, supporting earlier detection, improved monitoring, and more comprehensive patient care.

A huge thank you to our orthoptic and medical teams, along with ZEISS, for their dedication and commitment in bringing this innovation to our patients.

We're also proud to have our Orthoptic Team Leader, Mitchell Bagley, sharing insights on what this innovation means for both our team and our patients.

Protect Young Eyes This Myopia Awareness Week πŸ‘“

Myopia (short-sightedness) is becoming increasingly common in children, with more kids needing stronger glasses at younger ages. But myopia is more than just blurry distance vision β€” higher levels of myopia can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal disease, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration.

At Marsden Eye Specialists, we offer dedicated Myopia Control Clinics focused on slowing the progression of myopia in children through evidence-based treatments and ongoing monitoring.

Our Myopia Control Treatments Include:
πŸ’§ Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops

Low-dose atropine eye drops are used nightly to help slow the progression of myopia in children.
They are:

Safe and well tolerated for long-term use
Easy to use at home
Supported by strong clinical evidence
Commonly used worldwide in paediatric myopia management

Treatment plans are tailored to each child and monitored regularly by our experienced team.

πŸ”΄ Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is an emerging, non-invasive treatment designed to help slow myopia progression using controlled low-level red light exposure.

Benefits may include:

Short treatment sessions performed at home
Non-invasive and painless therapy
Growing clinical evidence supporting effectiveness
Can be used alongside other myopia control strategies

Our team can assess whether your child may be suitable for this treatment.

Why Early Myopia Management Matters

Early intervention may help reduce the rate of myopia progression and lower the risk of future eye health complications. Regular monitoring and tailored treatment can make a significant difference during a child’s growing years.

Laser vision correction can be a life-changing option for reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. At our clinic, we offer a complimentary consultation to assess your eyes and determine if you’re suitable for laser eye surgery.

We provide all laser options, including LASIK, PRK, and SMILE. And if laser isn’t the right choice for you, there are advanced alternatives such as ICL (implantable contact lenses) and refractive lens exchange with premium IOLs.

Watch Dr Samuel Dance explain how to know if laser eye surgery may be right for you.
