Results: After 12 weeks of treatment, the OBVAT group’s mean Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey score (15.1) was statistically significantly lower than those of 21.3, 24.7, and 21.9 in the HBCVAT , HBPP, and OBPT groups, respectively (P .001). The OBVAT group also demonstrated a significantly improved near point of convergence and positive fusional vergence at near compared with the other...
