What Is Orthoptics and What Does an Orthoptist Treat?
Orthoptics is the assessment and non-surgical treatment of eye movement and binocular vision disorders, including strabismus, amblyopia, double vision and post-stroke visual problems. Orthoptists are university-qualified allied health professionals registered with the Australian Orthoptic Board and are full members of Orthoptics Australia (Orthoptics Australia, 2025). A home visit lets the orthoptist assess how a vision problem affects real daily tasks such as reading, screen use and safe navigation, rather than only what can be tested in a clinic.
An orthoptist is not the same as an optometrist or an ophthalmologist. Optometrists prescribe glasses and screen for eye disease, ophthalmologists are doctors who perform surgery, and orthoptists work on how the two eyes move and coordinate together. The three often work as a team, and an orthoptist may recommend a referral back to one of the others where the assessment points to a medical cause.
Who It Is For and How It Is Funded
Home orthoptics suits NDIS participants whose vision condition is linked to their disability, older adults with vision problems affecting daily function or falls risk, and people recovering from stroke or acquired brain injury. For NDIS participants, orthoptic assessment and therapy is billed under the Therapeutic Supports registration group at up to $193.99 per hour under the NDIS Pricing Arrangements 2026-27. Older Australians can access orthoptics as allied health under Support at Home where it supports independent living. Medicare rebates may also apply on referral from an ophthalmologist or GP.
For someone in Victoria who struggles to get to appointments after a stroke or with reduced mobility, the home visit is often the difference between starting therapy and putting it off. The orthoptist can also see the reading light, stair edges and screen setup the person uses every day, which is hard to replicate in a clinic.
Finding a Home Orthoptist in Victoria
Orthoptists who do home visits are less common than clinic-based ones, so availability across Victoria can be tighter than for other allied health services. Check that the orthoptist carries portable equipment for a full workup rather than a brief screen, and ask whether they already travel to Victoria, since mobile rounds are planned by area. If a Medicare rebate might apply, confirm you have a current referral from a GP or ophthalmologist before the visit.
Availability on Carevo
48 orthoptists are listed on Carevo, matched by location and availability. For a broader look at in-home allied health and eye care options, see home optometry.
