What are the symptoms resulting from convergence insufficiency?
Symptoms of convergence insufficiency include diplopia (double vision) and headaches when reading. Many patients will complain that they have difficulty concentrating on near work (computer, reading, etc.) and that the written word blurs after prolonged periods of reading or if reading when tired. Patients may be noted to squint or close one eye when reading. Not all of the symptoms are present in every patient with convergence weakness.
