Synoptophore for Fusion Disorders
The Synoptophore is a specialized ophthalmic device used to assess and treat binocular vision disorders, such as suppression, amblyopia (lazy eye), and strabismus (eye misalignment). At Desai Eye Hospital, this advanced instrument helps evaluate fusion ability, depth perception, and eye coordination, making it a crucial tool in orthoptic therapy.
During the test, each eye is presented with a separate image, and the patient is asked to align them into a single image. This helps determine the degree of eye coordination, suppression, and fusion ability. The Synoptophore is also used for vision therapy, helping patients improve their binocular function through repeated visual exercises.
The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and effective in diagnosing and managing fusion disorders. At Desai Eye Hospital, our specialists ensure precise testing and personalized therapy plans to enhance visual function and eye alignment.
