Children with CI must use additional effort to focus on reading, and other near vision tasks, in order to maintain focus for an extended period of time.<\/p>\n<p><i>With CI, near vision tasks can become quite challenging\u2014 specifically <\/i>affecting<i> reading, learning, sports performance and even attention.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>Q2: How common is CI?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-children\/convergence-insufficiency-2\/\">Convergence insufficiency<\/a> affects up to 1 in every 8 children, and approximately 13 percent of <i>all school-aged students<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, many children with CI go undetected, and are incorrectly labeled as lazy, spacey, clumsy, anxious\u2014\u00a0 or even misdiagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, or mild autism.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q3: What are the symptoms of CI?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: The most common symptoms of CI include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eyestrain<\/li>\n<li>Headaches or muscle tension<\/li>\n<li>Blurred or double vision<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty reading and concentrating<\/li>\n<li>Uses finger or ruler when reading<\/li>\n<li>Avoidance of close work<\/li>\n<li>Poor hand-eye coordination<\/li>\n<li>Anxiety<\/li>\n<li>Motion sickness\/dizziness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Q4: Which tasks are challenging for a child with CI?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: If your child has CI, he may struggle with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homework<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Computer work<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attention<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:

CI diagnosed?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: A diagnosis of CI will be made after evaluating the strength of your child\u2019s visual skills, binocular vision, convergence, and focusing abilities.<\/p>\n<p><b>A basic eye exam or school vision screening that only tests vision acuity using a 20\/20 eye chart, cannot detect CI.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you suspect your child has an eye condition,\u00a0<a

over-reliance on school vision screenings, and brief eye exams conducted by pediatricians.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This means that many children are not even evaluated for CI, and therefore cannot receive the help they need.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, these children begin to avoid reading and other near vision tasks as much as possible, or use various strategies to combat their discomfort, such as using a ruler or finger while reading, or taking frequent breaks from an activity.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q7: Can CI cause other vision problems?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: Yes.<\/p>\n<p><b>If untreated, CI can lead to more serious eye problems such as lazy eye (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-lazy-eye\/amblyopia-lazy-eye\/\">amblyopia<\/a>) or an eye turn (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/a-guide-to-eye-turns\/strabismus-crossed-eyes\/\">strabismus<\/a>).<\/b><\/p>\n<p>These more serious problems can arise when CI is not treated properly, and a condition called <i>suppression <\/i>develops. Suppression of vision occurs when the brain actively \u201cshuts off\u201d one eye, causing loss of binocular (two-eyed) vision and depth perception.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q8: What will happen if my child develops suppression?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: With suppression, some or all of the following symptoms may present:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty catching balls<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoidance of sports<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clumsiness:\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trips on uneven surfaces, stairs, and curbs<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequently spills or knocks over objects<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bumps into doors, furniture and other stationary objects<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sports accidents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor eye contact<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor posture during near vision tasks<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequent head tilt<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motion sickness and\/or vertigo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Q9: What is the best treatment for CI?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>A: Vision therapy is the most effective treatment for CI.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-for-school\/convergence-insufficiency-treatment-trial\/\">Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial<\/a>, conducted by the National Eye Institute, concluded that supervised vision therapy with home reinforcement is the most effective treatment for CI.<\/p>\n<p><em>According to the research, 75 percent of all children that participated in the study achieved either full correction of their vision, or noticed significant improvements within 12 weeks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In some cases, prism eyeglasses can be prescribed to decrease some of the symptoms associated with CI. However, prisms cannot cure the underlying problem causing CI\u2014 making vision therapy the most effective treatment method available.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q10: What is vision therapy?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/vision-therapy-faqs\/\">Vision therapy<\/a> is a personalized program that involves a series of eye exercises that focus on training the eyes to work together\u2014 improving 3-D vision, depth perception, and clear binocular vision.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of vision therapy is to strengthen the communication between the eyes and brain, to enable clear and comfortable vision at all times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If your child is having difficulty in school, or is showing signs of a vision problem, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\">schedule an exam with an eye doctor<\/a> for a comprehensive evaluation of your child\u2019s vision and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/the-17-key-visual-skills\/\">visual skills<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LEARN MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/vision-therapy-for-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/vision-therapy-for-children\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1626937013539000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFqAGUJTsT9lGAgUseC1LZLz74rRQ\">Vision Therapy for Children<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>If your child is diagnosed with CI, a program of vision therapy can\u00a0 strengthen your child\u2019s visual skills, and in doing so, strengthen the skills they need for success in school&#8230;and maybe even bring out their hidden passion for reading!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q1: What is convergence insufficiency (CI)?
