Orthoptics training - Help people with visual impairments
Are you fascinated by the organ of sight? Would you like to work professionally for people who suffer from eye disorders? Training at a higher technical college (HF) in the field of orthoptics could therefore be a suitable training opportunity for you. Orthoptists work in close cooperation with ophthalmologists and examine patients suffering from eye disorders such as strabismus or eye muscle disorders on their instructions. Your specialist expertise, which you will acquire during your three-year training in orthoptics, will enable you to make well-founded diagnoses. You will also identify possible causes of the existing disorder and prescribe appropriate therapeutic measures and medication for the patients concerned.
It is very important that you also train your social skills and develop personally so that you can communicate your diagnoses to your patients with empathy and understanding. You also have technical aids at your disposal with which you can check various factors such as visual acuity, squint angle or the sense of color in your patients' eyes. As an orthoptics specialist, you will also carry out administrative work and write reports on the health of the people you treat.
Training to become an orthoptist takes three years full-time and concludes with the federally recognized title of "Certified Orthoptist HF". During your training, you will be taught the following subjects, among others:
- Assessment of findings
- Work processes
- Diagnosis
- Social behavior
- Quality promotion
- Planning and implementation of therapies
- Communication
- Professional development
Train to become a competent specialist in the field of orthoptics. You can find more information, competent providers and contacts at Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch in the Health section.
