	Orthoptics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orthoptics (from the Greek words ortho meaning "straight", and optikas meaning "vision" [1]) is the discipline dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of defective eye coordination, binocular vision, and functional amblyopia by non-pharmaceutical and non-surgical methods, e.g., glasses, prisms, exercises.
		The practice of orthoptics dates back to the 1850s and has its origins in the concept of "vision therapy", which was introduced in the late nineteenth century for the non-surgical correction of crossed eyes.
		Optometric collaboration with psychologists, educators, and neuroscientists produced an expansion of vision therapy into the treatment of other eye teaming deficits as well as dysfunctions in visual focusing, perception, tracking, and motor skills.
