Convergence Insufficiency

Symptoms of dry eye disease were more closely related to sleep disturbances than exam findings, although inflammation and meibum quality were linked to subjective sleep quality, according to a study in BMJ Open Ophthalmology.

Children with a diagnosis of symptomatic convergence insufficiency saw no additional improvement in reading comprehension with office-based vergence/accommodation therapy compared with office-based placebo therapy, according to findings published in Optometry and Vision Science.

A receded near point of convergence in patients with chronic concussion-related symptoms is not a diagnostic of convergence insufficiency, according to a study published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology.

Convergence insufficiency, accommodative dysfunction and visual field loss are common sequelae of traumatic brain injury in the absence of eye injury, according to a recent meta-analysis.
