“Because I am an orthoptist, I bridge the gap between ocular health and how the brain uses vision. I look beyond what the eyes can see, to understand the seeing brain and advocate for those whose visual needs are often overlooked.” Krish Zlotin, founder of The Seeing Brain.
 
🧠 Krish is an orthoptist and founder of The Seeing Brain, a mobile vision service supporting children and adults with neurological differences, including CVI. Krish provides functional vision assessments at home, school and community settings, focusing on individuals whose challenges are not explained by standard eye tests. Through collaborative, client-centred approaches, Krish translates assessment findings into practical strategies that enhance understanding, accessibility, and meaningful vision support across the lifespan.
