Convergence Insufficiency: The Hidden Cause of Eye Strain and Double Vision

14 May Convergence Insufficiency: The Hidden Cause of Eye Strain and Double Vision

Do you struggle with reading, experience double vision, or get frequent headaches? You might have convergence insufficiency (CI), a common but often undiagnosed vision disorder.

What is Convergence Insufficiency? Convergence insufficiency occurs when the eyes struggle to work together at close distances, leading to eye strain and discomfort. It’s especially common in children and young adults but can affect anyone.

Symptoms of CI Include:

• Double vision or blurry vision when reading
• Difficulty concentrating on near tasks
• Frequent headaches or tired eyes
• Skipping words or losing place when reading

How We Diagnose and Treat CI At Copeland Eye Care & Coralville Eye Associates, we use specialized tests to diagnose CI and offer customized vision therapy programs to strengthen eye coordination.
