What is your favourite part of being an orthoptic student? Seeing babies! No two patients are the same and it’s always fun to try to piece together all of your clinical findings into a working diagnosis.

Another valued member of the TCOS team!

Introducing the TCOS Team Spotlight! Meet Linda Colpa, our IOA Representative.
(Interview with Linda in the comments.)

“I’ve always found eyes interesting and every eye care professional I knew was passionate and caring. After some research, I came across orthoptics and it ticked all the boxes! I liked the idea of being a specialist with such a key role in a patient’s quality of life.”

Congratulations to Skylar Dempster, 2nd year orthoptic student (IWK/Dalhousie program), on winning the 2024 TCOS scholarship for their paper: 'Optical Treatment for Exotropia and its Effect on Refractive Error.'
Skylar will present their paper at the TCOS Scientific Session on June 22 in Vancouver.
