CONVERGENCE INSUFFICIENCY

Symptoms
One may experience the following symptoms when doing any sort of close work, including working on a computer or reading. The more work you’re doing and thus the more fatigued you’re, the more noticeable the symptoms will become.

Typical symptoms include:

• Strain in eyes
• Headache problems
• Getting a Double vision
• Getting a Blurry vision
• Losing place while reading
• Difficulty focusing and reading
• Escaping work that needs closer instance
• Not good with sports

Less common symptoms include:

• Dizziness or motion sickness
• Fatigue

The symptoms of convergence insufficiency can range from slightly annoying to so severe that one simply avoids closer point tasks.

Is there convergence insufficiency in adults?

Convergence insufficiency (CI) occurs in adults as well as in children. Because there are currently no epidemiological studies on CI in adults, we don’t have figures on its rate of occurrence. However, we do understand it occurs and is diagnosed and treated.

Is there a convergence eye test?

Convergence insufficiency is unpredictably easy to diagnose. However, not all eye care providers take in the diagnostic tests in their examination.

If the individual thinks that his symptoms could stem from convergence insufficiency, discuss them with your optometrist and inquire about whether or not they might even be from CI.

If one doesn’t have an optometrist that he could currently check with or if he has symptoms but no diagnosis, he may schedule a functional vision exam by contacting us.

Convergence Excess

Convergence excess is additionally a haul with ‘eye teaming.’ When a person has convergence excess and appears at a near point target, their eyes converge to some extent that’s closer than where the target actually is. for instance, if a book is held 15” far away from the reader, the eyes could also be pointing at a spot only 13” away.

Preferably, both eyes should point within an equivalent spot and see equally to figure things together as a team and provide efficient vision.

What causes convergence excess?

Similar to convergence insufficiency, convergence excess consequences from poorly developed control of convergence. Unlike convergence insufficiency, a person with convergence excess is able to position their eyes but over-converges them.

Convergence excess is additionally a haul with eye teaming. When an individual has convergence excess and appears at a near point target, their eyes converge to some extent that’s closer than where the target actually is. For instance, if a book is held 15 inches far away from the reader, the eyes could also be pointing at a spot only 13 inches away.

Preferably, both eyes should point within an equivalent spot and perceive beholding equally so on figure together as a team and provide efficient vision.

Signs and Symptoms

Alike convergence insufficiency, convergence excess symptoms occur most frequently while performing some kind of close work, including performing on a computer or it be reading.

People with convergence excess can do the near work, but tend to urge tired much faster than people that don’t have this functional vision problem.

Typical symptoms include:

• Strain in eyes/Fatigue
• Headache issues
• Double vision
• Blurry vision
• Losing place while reading
• Difficulty reading and focusing
• Escaping of closer work
• Not good with sports

Less common symptoms include:

• Dizziness or motion sickness
• Fatigue

Treatment for Convergence Insufficiency and Convergence Excess

Treatment for both convergence insufficiency and convergence excess varies from case to case and is subject to how severe the problem is and thus the presence of other functional vision problems (like eye focusing and/or eye movement issues). Treatments can include:

Glasses (Lenses)

A lens prescription is generally much helpful in some cases. It’s important to note that this type of prescription is different from a prescription to reinforce reduced acuity because of near sightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism. The aim of this type of prescription is to reinforce performance on near point tasks, not to improve clarity of vision.

Light Therapy (Syntonics)

Syntonic is a kind of light therapy used for vision problems. Treatment involves viewing a specific colour of light for a speedy time per day. The doctor determines what colour of the light is getting to be most useful supported by the findings of their functional vision exam.

Convergence could also be a visible skill that’s learned and developed. Some people develop the skill to a level that meet their needs, while others develop it to a lower level or not within the least.
