Running out of hands?
Do you have patients that struggle to hold a paddle, use sign language, dislike/have a fear of sticky patches, (or just wriggle around a lot!)?
If so, the soft Optishield lens-cover is a great addition to your optical armoury. optishield.co.uk

Royal College Ophthalmologists state low vision is ‘impairment of visual function for whom full remediation is not possible by spectacles, lenses, medical intervention and which causes restriction in that person’s life’. #LowVisionAwarenessMonth

Diplopia varies according to which muscles are defective. It can be horizontal, vertical, tilted or all three, and it’s truly awful.
Imagine this while waiting for a new diagnosis or prism. However temporary, it makes a huge difference to the patient to be offered a solution.

A professional usability study for medical devices is a great way to understand how the device can be of help to clinicians and patients. MD-TEC showed a 100% success rate, with Prof Wolffsohn reporting that the Optishield is “Really easy to use. Very simple clever concept”.
