Power
Your power is in helping people see clearly by using patches, drops, eye exercises, or a referral for surgery if needed. Sometimes, one eye's muscles are weak or underdeveloped. Using a patch over the good eye forces a person to use the weaker eye and strengthen it. This and other tricks of your trade make you a vital part of a professional team caring for people's peepers. And (in our best Dr. Seuss voice) that makes you a keeper.
Many orthoptists work with the pre-school crowd helping correct a visual birth defect. If you like challenging work, you're in for a good time. But the rewards of helping a baby or toddler see clearly for the first time? It just doesn't get much better than that.
Orthoptists are specifically trained to correct eyesight problems in very young children so their eyes develop and grow properly. They use high tech equipment along with toys or pictures to help improve a child's vision and correct a physical problem in their eyes before it becomes permanent.
You have a lot of power in terms of deciding the fate of a child's vision.
