چکیده
Results:After 12weeks of treatment, theOBVAT 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, andOBPT 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 groups (P .005 for all comparisons). A successful or improved outcome was found in 73%, 43%, 33%, and 35%of patients in theOBVAT,HBPP, HBCVAT , and OBPT groups, respectively.

متن کاملTreatment of convergence insufficiency in childhood: a current perspective.
PURPOSE To provide a current perspective on the management of convergence insufficiency (CI) in children by summarizing the findings and discussing the clinical implications from three recent randomized clinical trials in which we evaluated various treatments for children with symptomatic CI.
