Article Synopsis
- Convergence insufficiency (CI) is when your eyes don't work together well when looking at things close up, making reading difficult.
- Researchers looked at how CI affects a part of the brain called the arcuate fasciculus, which helps with reading.
- They found that people with CI had smaller and different structures in this brain area compared to those with normal vision, suggesting that CI might change the brain over time due to reading problems.
Significance: Prior studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of vergence-accommodative therapy in the treatment of convergence insufficiency (CI). These results show the changes in brain activation following therapy through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in brain activation following office-based vergence-accommodative therapy versus placebo therapy for CI using the blood oxygenation level-dependent signal from fMRI.
