Convergence insufficiencyConvergence insufficiency is a sensory and neuromuscular anomaly of the binocular vision system, characterized by a reduced ability of the eyes to turn towards each other, or sustain convergence. The symptoms and signs associated with convergence insufficiency are related to prolonged, visually demanding, near-centered tasks. They may include, but are not limited to, diplopia (double vision), asthenopia (eye strain), transient blurred vision, difficulty sustaining near-visual function, abnormal fatigue, headache, and abnormal postural adaptation, among others.
Positive relative accommodationPositive relative accommodation (PRA) in biology, is a measure of the maximum ability to stimulate eye accommodation while maintaining clear, single binocular vision. This measurement is typically obtained by an orthoptist, ophthalmologist or optometrist during an eye examination using a phoropter. After the patient's distance correction is established, she or he is instructed to view small letters on a card 40 cm from the eyes. The examiner adds lenses in −0.25 diopter increments until the patient first reports that they become blurry.
Test de visionUn examen de la vue est une série de tests effectués pour évaluer l'acuité visuelle et la capacité de mise au point. Il comprend également d'autres tests et examens relatifs aux yeux. Les examens de la vue sont principalement effectués par un optométriste, un ophtalmologiste, un orthoptiste ou un opticien. Les professionnels de la santé recommandent souvent de subir des examens oculaires périodiques et approfondis dans le cadre des soins primaires de routine, d'autant plus que de nombreuses maladies oculaires sont asymptomatiques.
