A Study of Clinical Characteristics, Treatments, and One-Year Outcomes of Adults with Strabismus
Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
ObservationalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to describe clinical characteristics, treatments, and one-year outcomes for adults who have convergence insufficiency, divergence insufficiency, or small angle hypertropia.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria
- Convergence Insufficiency Group
- Adults ≥18 years of age (adult onset of CI not required)
- No strabismus surgery within the past 10 years
- CI Symptom Survey score ≥ 21 points
- Near exodeviation of ≥4∆ and at least 4∆ larger than at distance by PACT
- Distance exodeviation ≤15∆ by PACT
- Vertical deviation ≤2∆ at distance and near by PACT
- No constant exotropia at distance or near
- Reduced positive fusional vergence (PFV) at near (<20∆ or fails Sheard's criterion that the PFV measures less than twice the magnitude of the near phoria)
