Happy #ValentinesDay from @NatEyeInstitue!
This is a retinal image of X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS), an inherited disease causing vision loss from splitting of the layers of the retina.
XLRS is studied extensively by our former Director (Paul Sieving).

Many special schools have an established eye care service led by Orthoptists, specialists in assessing vision in children and people with additional needs. The @SeeAbility service will be a good addition to the currently running Orthoptic services @FollowBIOS
Orthoptists are experts in diagnosing and managing binocular vision disorders. The ability to use our eyes together allows us to perceive depth and relationships between objects. Issues with eye movement can cause double vision #AHPsday2021 @MFTChiefAHP @MFT_CSSAHPs
