Symptoms of CI typically surface following periods of prolonged near vision activities, such as reading a book or magazine, using a computer, and scrolling on a tablet or smartphone.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What are the symptoms of CI?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Adults commonly report that the following symptoms affect their ability to concentrate at work and their overall work performance<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blurred vision<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/neuro-optometry\/vision-and-brain-injuries\/double-vision-diplopia\/\">Double vision<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dizziness or disorientation<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headaches<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Squinting<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rubbing eyes<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty reading<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased myopia with new need for bifocal lenses<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty adjusting to new bifocals or reading glasses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Why do adults develop CI?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In many cases, adults will develop CI as they experience an increase in visual demands, such as starting a new job that involves hours of computer work. Sometimes, college students will experience symptoms of CI as they begin their studies, typically because the visual demands required for studying, research, and computer use has significantly increased from their previous school experiences.<\/p>\n<p>When CI develops as a result of a change in environment, it can impact performance at work or in school, and lead to many feelings of frustration and low self esteem.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, CI symptoms can appear during stressful time periods, such as taking care of a new baby, working overtime, or after the loss of a job.<\/p>\n<p>While vision problems that develop as a result of stress are usually temporary, they can be quite uncomfortable and lead to an increase in stress levels.<\/p>\n<p>When an increase in stress leads to excessive alcohol consumption, blurry or double vision can worsen, as alcohol can have truly damaging effects on the eyes.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Can CI develop as a result of aging?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In some cases, adults are diagnosed with CI for unknown reasons.<\/p>\n<p>As researchers continue to search for answers, some evidence suggests that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CI symptoms can in fact develop during adulthood.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CI may be noticed later in life if the condition has been hidden for many years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In some cases, when a person has difficulty with their convergence skills, or their ability to control their eye muscles for clear single vision, they will rely on their focusing skills to give them clear vision. The focusing system uses the eye\u2019s focusing lens to control the convergence muscles. However, relying on the focusing lens will hide any convergence difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, while using the focusing lens to help you to see clearly may suffice through early adulthood, the lens will begin to lose flexibility as you age, causing the focusing system to weaken. As a result, you may begin to experience fatigue and eye strain from prolonged near vision tasks\u2014 affecting your ability to read or use the computer, and impacting your work performance.<\/p>\n<p>If you experience symptoms of CI, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\"><strong>contact an eye doctor near you<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/vision-therapy-for-children\/convergence-insufficiency-2\/do-i-have-convergence-insufficiency\/\">Do I Have Convergence Insufficiency?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"practice-search-widget\">\n\t\t<h3>Find a Vision Therapy Eye Doctor Near You<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t<form class=\"practice-search-form practice-search-form-widget\" action=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/results\/\" method=\"get\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"page\" class=\"practice-search-page\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_latitude\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_longitude\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"address\" class=\"practice-search-address\" placeholder=\"City, Surburb or Address\" value=\"\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<button type=\"submit\" class=\"practice-search-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"19\" height=\"19\" viewBox=\"0 0 19 19\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.6796 0.130005C9.15708 0.130059 7.66615 0.5646 6.38198 1.38258C5.09781 2.20057 4.07373 3.36803 3.43004 4.74783C2.78634 6.12763 2.54976 7.66246 2.74808 9.17205C2.9464 10.6816 3.57139 12.1033 4.54964 13.27L0.729639 17.08C0.6364 17.1732 0.562439 17.2839 0.511979 17.4058C0.461519 17.5276 0.435547 17.6581 0.435547 17.79C0.435547 17.9219 0.461519 18.0524 0.511979 18.1743C0.562439 18.2961 0.6364 18.4068 0.729639 18.5C0.917942 18.6883 1.17334 18.7941 1.43964 18.7941C1.5715 18.7941 1.70207 18.7681 1.82389 18.7177C1.94571 18.6672 2.0564 18.5932 2.14964 18.5L5.99964 14.62C7.35406 15.6038 8.98566 16.1324 10.6596 16.13C12.7814 16.13 14.8162 15.2871 16.3165 13.7869C17.8168 12.2866 18.6596 10.2517 18.6596 8.13C18.6596 6.00827 17.8168 3.97344 16.3165 2.47315C14.8162 0.97286 12.7814 0.130005 10.6596 0.130005H10.6796ZM10.6796 14.13C9.49295 14.13 8.33291 13.7781 7.34622 13.1188C6.35952 12.4595 5.59049 11.5225 5.13636 10.4261C4.68224 9.32975 4.56342 8.12335 4.79493 6.95946C5.02644 5.79558 5.59788 4.72648 6.437 3.88736C7.27611 3.04825 8.34521 2.4768 9.5091 2.24529C10.673 2.01378 11.8794 2.1326 12.9757 2.58673C14.0721 3.04085 15.0092 3.80989 15.6685 4.79658C16.3277 5.78328 16.6796 6.94332 16.6796 8.13C16.6796 9.7213 16.0475 11.2474 14.9223 12.3726C13.7971 13.4979 12.2709 14.13 10.6796 14.13Z\" fill=\"#fff\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"practice-search-use-my-location\">\n\t\t\tSearch near me\n\t\t<\/button>\n\n\n\t<\/form>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<h2><b>Other causes of CI in adults<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The following factors can lead to the development of CI:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concussion<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infection<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/neuro-optometry\/vision-and-brain-injuries\/\">Traumatic brain injury<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain medications<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson\u2019s<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Myasthenia gravis<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graves ophthalmopathy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>How is CI treated in adults?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>According to research conducted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-for-school\/convergence-insufficiency-treatment-trial\/\">Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial<\/a> group, adults between the ages of 19-30 showed significant improvement after receiving office-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/what-is-vision-therapy\/\">vision therapy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>According to the study, 50 percent of the adults claimed that they had \u201cimproved vision\u201d or had been \u201ccured\u201d after 12 weeks of therapy.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The study concluded that with continued sessions, there may have been an increase in the number of adults with CI that showed improvement from vision therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Based on these findings, research suggests that with a program of vision therapy, adults with CI can still learn how to use their fusional convergence skills for clear, single vision\u2014 without straining their eyes to see.
