Anaïs Muczynski is a highly qualified orthoptist who graduated from Paris 6 University. She practiced independently in the Paris region for several years, focusing on the management of oculomotor disorders, including the rehabilitation of insufficient convergence, excess divergence, and amblyopia follow-ups. Over time, she expanded her expertise through additional training to include the rehabilitation of neuro-visual impairments.

In 2018, Anaïs relocated to England, where she earned her professional certification as an orthoptist through the HCPC. She has since been part of the team at Moorfields Eye Hospital, bringing her extensive knowledge and skills to a leading institution.

As a French expatriate, Anaïs was struck by the differences in care provided by the NHS. She is passionate about using her experience to offer high-quality care to the French-speaking community in London, helping them navigate their healthcare journey and achieve better visual health outcomes.

An orthoptist is a healthcare professional specialized in detecting, diagnosing, rehabilitating, and treating vision disorders. They work in collaboration with ophthalmologists and assist patients of all ages, from children to the elderly.

Main responsibilities of an orthoptist:

1. Orthoptic assessment: Evaluating visual abilities and detecting ocular disorders (e.g., strabismus, amblyopia, convergence issues).
2. Visual rehabilitation: Treating functional disorders such as convergence or accommodation issues, and ocular motor paralysis.
3. Management of neurological disorders: Rehabilitation after a stroke or head trauma to restore eye-brain coordination.
4. Prevention and education: Providing advice to maintain good visual health, especially for specific groups (e.g., screen users, young children).
5. Assisting visually impaired individuals: Training on the use of visual aids (e.g., special glasses, electronic magnifiers).
