Convergence insufficiency (CI) affects how your child can read and how they can track fast moving objects when playing sports. The eyes' ability to turn inward to maintain clear single vision is significantly reduced in children with convergence insufficiency.
Signs & Symptoms:
👓 Dislikes and avoids reading books.
👓 Easily frustrated and gets headaches after reading for a few minutes
👓 Blurry or double vision when reading
👓 Difficulty focusing on text
👓 Difficulty tracking fast moving objects like a baseball
👓 Dislikes 3D movies
How can we correct this?
👓 This is a visual skill that can be trained and corrected with vision therapy! At Dau Family Eyecare, Dr. Balo provides one-on-one vision training sessions with patients to improve visual skills like convergence, tracking, focusing, and eye teaming to correct binocular vision disorders like convergence insufficiency.
👓 If you think your child may have this condition, schedule their annual eye exam or schedule a vision therapy evaluation with Dr. Balo to develop a training regimen to remedy their eye teaming problems.
