What are the Participation Requirements?
Eligibility Criteria for Convergence Insufficiency (CI) Group:
The following inclusion criteria must be met for the subject to be enrolled into the
study:
- Adults ≥18 years of age (adult onset of CI not required)
- No strabismus surgery within the past 10 years
- CI Symptom Survey score ≥21 points
- Near exodeviation of ≥4∆ and at least 4∆ larger than at distance by PACT
- Distance exodeviation ≤15∆ by PACT
- Vertical deviation ≤2∆ at distance and near by PACT
- No constant exotropia at distance or near
- Reduced positive fusional vergence (PFV) at near (<20∆ or fails Sheard's criterion
that the PFV measures less than twice the magnitude of the near phoria)
- Near point of convergence (NPC) of ≥6 cm break

deviation, Duane syndrome)

buckle, Brown syndrome)
