Children with convergence insufficiency (CI) appear to have a higher incidence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Evaluating ADHD patients for CI may identify a treatable condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatrics
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Background:

  • Children evaluated for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often undergo eye exams.
  • Symptoms of convergence insufficiency (CI) can mimic ADHD, impacting reading concentration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the incidence of ADHD in children diagnosed with CI.
  • To examine the prevalence of CI in children diagnosed with ADHD.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 266 pediatric patients with CI.
  • Computerized review of ADHD patient records for CI incidence.

Main Results:

  • 9.8% of patients with CI were diagnosed with ADHD.
  • 15.9% of patients with ADHD showed incidence of CI.

  • ADHD incidence in CI patients was approximately three times higher than the general population.

    • Conclusions:

    • A higher incidence of ADHD is observed in patients with CI.
    • A higher incidence of CI is noted in patients with ADHD.
    • Suggests evaluating ADHD patients for CI, a treatable condition.
