简要总结
Convergence insufficiency (CI) is a prevalent binocular vision disorder that leads to symptoms such as eye strain, headaches, and blurred vision during near work. This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of pencil pushup exercises versus base-out exercising prisms in the management of CI. A Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) will be conducted with 28 participants, using non-probability convenience sampling from SIGHTON Optix, Lahore. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (receiving base-out exercising prisms) or the control group (receiving pencil push up exercises). The study will assess symptom improvement using the Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS), near point of convergence (NPC).
详细描述
The study will also evaluate quality of life (QoL) using a vision-related QoL questionnaire. The total study duration is 3 months, with a primary goal of determining the relative efficacy of these two interventions. This study is expected to provide valuable insights into effective, evidence-based management options for convergence insufficiency, ultimately improving patient outcomes and guiding clinical practice. The collected data will be analysed by using SPSS.

结局指标
主要结局
Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey
时间窗: 12 Months
For Children (\< age 21) total score = 16 or higher is suggestive of convergence insufficiency. For Adults total score = 21 or higher is suggestive of convergence insufficiency.
Quality of Life Questionnaire (QOL)
时间窗: 12 Months
Scoring Instructions: * Each response is scored on a scale from 1 to 5, based on the patient's answer. * A higher score indicates a greater negative impact on quality of life. Interpretation: * Low Scores (10-20): Minimal impact on quality of life. * Moderate Scores (21-35): Moderate impact on daily life and well-being. * High Scores (36-50): Significant impact on daily activities and quality of life.
