Discussion
According to ............. Out of 300 population
of convergence insufficiency, 34% showed
improvement with pencil push-up therapy,
22% with vision therapy/orthoptics and
20% with base in prism glass therapy.
The studies conducted by CITT investigator
group have shown that the only treatment
for CI was office vision therapy for 45-60
minute weekly was more effective than
placebo vision therapy.
DISCUSSION
Convergence is indispensable for
maintenance of single binocular
vision for all distances nearer to
infinity. Study had indicated that
almost every second person
presenting with headache with
normal vision and fundus was found
to be suffering from convergence
insufficiency.
CONCLUSION
CI more common in patients between
20-40 years, especially those
engaged in near work.
Therefore Binocular examination in
all cases of eye strain and headache
is essential.
