Synoptophore – Ophthalmic Binocular Vision and Strabismus Testing Machine

The Synoptophore is a specialised ophthalmic diagnostic and therapeutic instrument designed to assess binocular vision, measure ocular misalignment and support the management of strabismus (squint) and related binocular vision disorders. It features two adjustable optical tubes with illuminated testing slides for evaluating simultaneous perception, fusion, stereopsis and ocular deviation. The instrument is also used for selected orthoptic vision therapy exercises. Suitable for eye hospitals, ophthalmology clinics, orthoptic departments, optometry centres and specialist eye care facilities.
