Who are we?

The Canadian Orthoptic Council (COC) is the body sanctioned by the Canadian Ophthalmological Society to certify and govern Orthoptists in Canada.

We work to ensure that Canadians are getting safe and effective care.















What is an Orthoptist?

An Orthoptist is an allied health care professional with specialized knowledge of the visual system and how it relates to binocular vision and ocular motility disorders, ocular neuromuscular anomalies and visual dysfunction.
