Convergence Insufficiency: Easy At-Home Screening
HTML-код

- Still having that daily struggle of getting through reading assignments? Trying everything to encourage reading?
You're exhausted, you know your child is exhausted, they've been complaining of headaches, eyes hurting and sometimes even nausea. You may have even had their eyes checked, but did you know 20/20 vision only matters for vision far away?
Your child may have convergence insufficiency, which could trigger these symptoms. We encourage you to watch this video and try our simple screening test to see if their eyes are not working as a team. If they struggled with this test, we encourage you to call us for a consultation. This could be the first step in ending the nightly battles.
I’m glad to have found out what has plagued me my entire life. Despite being very good at school I was always miserable and constant eye aches. I lose convergence at 20+ inches. Every close-up task my entire life has been a struggle and I thought this was normal.
Have you gotten better man ?
@@typicalxy5147 I’ve also since been taking medication for ADHD and it’s helped my focus. There are a lot of links between convergence insufficiency and ADHD and treating one can help the other in some cases. Also prism glasses are amazing, I have a pair and they make reading so much easier.
@@clarkesuperman oh okay but like overall has your eyes improved from the exercises?
@@clarkesuperman thankfully your eyes are getting better
@@typicalxy5147 the exercises weren’t very effective for me. Made my eyes experience more strain and I got more headaches doing so. Prism glasses for reading and close up tasks have been way more helpful.
Holly crap. I hated reading as a kid and can't read for more than 5 minutes without getting sleepy. I just tested myself and I see double around 5 or six inches. Ima start reading with one eye now.
My daughter is 13 and has this. It was diagnosed when she was in 2nd grade. The treatment has always been out of reach for us, for a number of reasons. The doctor said she would need 18 visits x3 at about $150 per visit. That is $8,000 plus it was one hour away, so 54 times at 2hrs round trip. It’s a really sad thing to just do the best we can to get by with her education etc. It’s insane that nothing is covered by any insurance. It’s such a serious problem that reaches far into one’s life.
OMG - I struggled with this for years and had no clue or no medical provider never assessed me for this
It either means you're far-sighted (can't see close-up) or you're developing presbyopia, meaning your eyes lose the ability to focus on close objects which is a normal part of aging.
...this good video would be - without disturbing background music - great!!
What about needing to keep an index card underneath the line being read? Could that be another symptom?
I'm nearsighted and don't see double. I've had eye focusing issues my whole life. Though at a certain point my eyes start to feel weird and my vision keeps shifting
Thank you . I am doing my Pathology residency in first year, I am starting to get problems like when I look at a microscope and then try to make notes or look at a book my vision becomes blurred for minutes and it is making difficult for me to carry on with my Pathology residency. Recently, I was diagnosed as fusional insufficiency. So , can it be cured so that I can continue with Pathology residency looking the microscope or should I drop the Pathology residency?
I have a child who never sees double when stimuli moving toward him but his eyes move inward. Then when the stimuli is as close as possible, he cannot sustain the inward focus for >3 seconds (his left eye initially abducts and on a different attempt, the right one does). Is this convergence insufficiency?
In probably the first person on this planet who had normal eyes and now my eye turned inward
I just learned I have Convergence Insufficiency from my eye doctor and have probably been struggling with it my whole life. Is it possible to pass it down to your children? My daughter already wears glasses, but my son does not.
Can this happen later in life? I am 42 and have a desk job and use a computer all day. With in the last month I have been having trouble focusing and see clearly when looking a my computer or phone. Thank you
Hola disculpe El estrabismo y la ambliopia se puede curar en adultos o ya es caso perdido tengo 25 años y llevo dos operaciones pero se volvió a desviar hacia fuera y mi vision empeoro en mi ojo derecho que es donde tengo el estrabismo hay forma de corregirlo sabe cuantas veces se puede operar para corregir el rstrabismo.
Also, try touching your toes. Can’t reach them? Try closing your eyes. Can you reach the floor? You have CI.
I would like more information regarding my lazy eye as an adult
Man im25, i hv been visiting multiple hospitals for past 3 years, without any solid result. Now im pretty confident this is my problem.
It’s never too late! Find a vision therapy optometrist near you at COVD.org
What about when objects in the distance go double as the pen gets closer? Is that normal?
Should I still go to a doctor or is this accurate
I don't see double, but the pen becomes blurry at around 5". Is this the same thing?
Did you find the answer to this? I have the same thing
@@nicolehenriksen4981 No I didn't, but I try to do vision exercises and believe they help. I just need to be more consistent. I also take some vision vitamins that I feel are helping
It either means you're far-sighted (can't see close-up) or you're developing presbyopia, meaning your eyes lose the ability to focus on close objects which is a normal part of aging.
I have lazy problem how can i get help
Okay serious question… what if I never see double? I thought maybe I had CI because I tend to close one eye while I’m reading or watching TV, I don’t even notice I’m doing it, but I don’t ever see double on this test. Even when it’s touching my nose, I still just see one pen
Can you touch your toes? No? Close your eyes and try again. Can you magically touch the floor? You have CI.
I also don't have double vision even when when the pencil is less than 1-2", but I've been diagnosed with some exophoria (CI is one condition). Do you feel eye strain, eye muscle pulling and a bit dizziness while walking?
you have convergence excess
What about convergence excess? Can you treat that? I never see vision therapists mentioning convergence excess. I assume it’s a tougher case because of the high AC/A ratio?
Convergence Excess is absolutely treatable! It is just less common, so has less awareness. Treatment is basically the opposite, develop the ability to not converge so excessively.
@@eagleeyeperformancevision Sorry, I made a mistake. I actually meant partially accommodative esotropia, meaning a deviation at all distances but much greater at near. Can vision therapy help with that?
Is any one see two part of nose while seeing
?
Can we blink during convergence excercise?
I always see double.
