convergence insufficiency

Computer software may be used at home or in an orthoptists office to treat convergence insufficiency.

Miller calls this problem "convergence insufficiency," which is the inability of the eyes to coordinate with each other to see an object.

Convergence insufficiency - near exodeviation greater than distance deviation.

Problems like convergence insufficiency may be complicated by activities of modern living - long hours of television viewing and staring at a computer terminal.

The symptoms and signs associated with convergence insufficiency are related to prolonged, visually demanding, near-centered tasks.

Diagnosis of convergence insufficiency is made by an eye care professional skilled in binocular vision dysfunctions to rule out any organic disease.

Difficulties with convergence (convergence insufficiency), where the eyes come closer together while focusing on something near, like the pages of a book, is typical.

Convergence insufficiency is a common binocular vision disorder characterized by asthenopia, eye fatigue and discomfort.

There is a common form of exotropia known as "convergence insufficiency" that responds well to orthoptic vision therapy including exercises.

Some cases of convergence insufficiency are successfully managed by prescription of eyeglasses, sometimes with therapeutic prisms.

The Brock string is commonly employed during treatment of convergence insufficiency and other anomalies of binocular vision.

In studies that used standardized definitions of Convergence insufficiency, investigators have reported a prevalence of 4.2% to 6% in school and clinic settings.

Convergence insufficiency is a common problem with the eyes, and is the main culprit behind eyestrain, blurred vision, and headaches.

Approximately 80 percent of children diagnosed with CI (convergence insufficiency) also demonstrate AI.

Some patients with convergence insufficiency have concurrent accommodative insufficiency-accommodative amplitudes should therefore also be measured in symptomatic patients.

Convergence insufficiency may be treated with convergence exercises prescribed by an eyecare specialist trained in orthoptics or binocular vision anomalies.

Also suspected are convergence insufficiency and poor accommodation, both of which are uncommon in children, can interfere with the physical act of reading but not with decoding.

A typical homework assignment for a person with convergence insufficiency might be to hold a pencil at arm's length and focus on the tip, gradually moving it toward the nose.

In 2005, the Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial (CITT) published two randomized clinical studies.

Surgical correction options are also available, but the decision to proceed with surgery should be made with caution as convergence insufficiency generally does not improve with surgery.

Suppression of an eye is a subconscious adaptation by a person's brain to eliminate the symptoms of disorders of binocular vision such as strabismus, convergence insufficiency and aniseikonia.

The standard definition of Convergence insufficiency is exophoria greater at near than at distance, a receded near point of convergence, and reduced convergence amplitudes at near.

Other than for strabismus (such as intermittent exotropia) and convergence insufficiency, the consensus among ophthalmologists, orthoptists and pediatricians is that non-strabismic visual therapy lacks documented evidence of effectiveness.

The concept of incorporating base-in prism in a progressive design to relieve convergence insufficiency (CI) symptoms was conceived and patented by Dr. Jeffrey Krall (Mitchell, SD).

Convergence insufficiency or Convergence Disorder is a sensory and neuromuscular anomaly of the binocular vision system, characterized by an inability of the eyes to turn towards each other, or sustain convergence.
