Convergence of the eyes occurs when the two eyes need to focus on a close object, such as a book or computer. Convergence insufficiency means the eyes struggle to focus for near tasks like reading and writing, affecting attention to tasks and work performance`.<\/p>\n<p><b>Vision therapy is the most effective treatment for CI, as standard eyeglasses, contact lenses, medications, and surgery cannot treat the condition.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In many cases, your eye doctor will prescribe prismatic (prism) glasses in combination with vision therapy, as they decrease some CI symptoms. Although prism eyeglasses can relieve symptoms, they are not a \u201ccure\u201d and the patient typically remains dependent on the prism lenses.<\/p>\n<p>Vision therapy focuses on training the eyes to work together to improve depth perception, clear binocular vision and 3-D vision. The goal of vision therapy is to stimulate the communication between the eyes and brain, to enable clear and comfortable vision at all times.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment exercises for CI may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Depth perception practice<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Focusing for near and distance<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Eye tracking with pursuits and saccades<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Training with computerized technology<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Specialized equipment and tools such as prisms and lenses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Eye turns (strabismus) and vision therapy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/a-guide-to-eye-turns\/strabismus-crossed-eyes\/strabismus-faqs\/\">Strabismus<\/a> occurs when the two eyes are unable to focus together on one object and maintain proper alignment \u2014 one eye looks directly at the object, while the other eye points in a different direction.
