    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Convergence insufficiency is a common binocular vision disorder.
    • It affects near work and visual comfort.
    • Orthoptic treatment is a standard approach for managing this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a standard orthoptic treatment regimen.
    • To analyze changes in clinical profiles of patients with convergence insufficiency.
    • To identify statistically significant improvements in visual function.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 110 subjects diagnosed with convergence insufficiency.
    • Examination of clinical profiles before and after treatment.
    • Statistical analysis of changes in vergence, accommodation, and deviation measurements.

    Main Results:

    • Statistically significant improvements were observed in the near angle of deviation.
    • The AC/A ratio and positive vergence values showed significant changes.
    • Nearpoint of convergence and amplitude of accommodation improved significantly post-treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Standard orthoptic treatment is effective in improving convergence insufficiency.
    • The study highlights significant positive changes in key visual parameters.
    • Findings underscore the importance of orthoptic interventions for vision disorders.
