Orthoptist Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently reviewed a panel on eye movement disorders and found a practical link between diagnostic clarity and patient outcomes. In my last role at [Previous Company], I helped streamline assessment workflows so binocular function checks and alignment testing could be completed in under 30 minutes. This meant clearer feedback for patients and quicker care pathways, which I know matters when coordinating treatment plans across optometry, ophthalmology and rehab teams. I bring strong skills in diagnosing eye movement disorders, prescribing lenses and low vision aids, and designing rehabilitation programmes. I prioritise patient instruction and counselling, and I routinely advise on visual ergonomics and safety in occupational and industrial settings. I am comfortable documenting findings, liaising with referrers, and tailoring exercises to coordinate movement and focusing for each patient. One example sticks with me. A patient with intermittent diplopia and reduced reading speed benefited from a targeted set of eye exercises and a small adjustment to their reading strategy at work. Over eight weeks, their reading performance improved significantly and they reported fewer symptoms during daily tasks. The case reinforced the value of combining practical training with realistic home exercises and follow ups. I am keen to bring my experience to [Company Name] as an Orthoptist. I can discuss how my approach fits your team, and I’m available for a chat at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
