Functional Neural Mechanism of Vision Therapy for Patients With Convergence Insufficiency
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Office Based Vergence and Accommodative Therapy for Convergence Insufficiency. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Convergence insufficiency (CI) is a prevalent binocular vision disorder with symptoms that include double/blurred vision, eyestrain, and headaches when engaged in reading or other near work. CI is present in 4% of the population where approximately 27% of CI patients do not improve even with validated therapy. The project will quantitatively study changes in convergence eye movements and neural substrates before and after validated therapy in CI patients. This knowledge can lead to improvements in currently validated therapy, reduction in therapy sessions, and reduced healthcare costs.
