Abstract:
Although lots of studies have been reported
on convergence insufficiency (CI), no specific
case of CI among African patients has been
reported. We report a case of symptomatic classic
convergence insufficiency in a female student
who previously had been misdiagnosed
and managed for refractive error. This case
highlights the need for comprehensive binocular
vision assessment, administration of validated
symptom questionnaires in cases of suspicious
CI, and the use of simple and inexpensive
vision therapy procedures to manage CI in
optometric centres in developing countries.
