Orthoptists

Orthoptists will have good job opportunities in the years to come, due in part to the growth in the aging population. More people are living longer, which is leading to greater demand for orthoptists and other eye specialists to help diagnose and treat eye disorders. The Occupational Information Network predicts that orthoptists will have average employment growth through 2033. A growing number of people have medical coverage that includes eye care, which will mean greater demand for orthoptists and related eye specialists. Competition will be keen for orthoptists positions. Those who are certified, have strong technology skills, and prior work experience will have the best job prospects.
