The clinic also has an Orthoptic Clinic and Electrophysiology Lab. We work in association with the Visual Impairment Program.

Children need a medical doctor’s or optometrist's referral to be seen by ophthalmologists affiliated with our department. Ophthalmologists refer to the orthoptics, electrophysiology and low vision services.
