A technique of eye exercise designed to correct the visual axes of eyes not properly coordinated for binocular vision.


The study of methods used to treat squints.


Practice of using nonsurgical measures, especially eye exercises, to treat abnormalities of vision and coordinated eye movement, such as strabismus and amblyopia.


The practice of using nonsurgical methods, particularly eye exercises, to treat abnormalities of vision and of coordination of eye movements (most commonly strabismus (squint) and amblyopia). Orthoptics also includes the detection and measurement of the degree of such abnormalities.


The science of correcting defects in binocular vision resulting from defects in optic musculature.
