Just wondering if anyone had ever used the CVS computer orthoptics program for vergence or rotation issues with vision, I have periodic visual disturbances, well all the time but with double vision etc. Was told my eyes drift outwards as well I have convergence insufficiency. I was prescribed? this computer program by an orthopist
I will let everyone know how it goes as I progress and it gets here, was just curious if anyone had dealt with anything similar, a little more advanced it seems than just pencil pushups Thanks again guys

I was prescribed a programme but can't recall name right now. I think it is a good idea...anything to pish beyond your comfort level can be therapeutic. Will repost later if I remember. Prisms helped me!!!!
Good luck!

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |

I was prescribed and tried an online therapy. It addressed 4 issues, convergence, divergence and I can't remember the other two.
The program was for athletes to improve there vision for sport (ie baseball players etc). I saw improvement and like the fact you can run a test and see how you have progressed. I can't remember the name but it might be in one of my old posts. I am still wearing prims both reading and sunglasses for driving. I still do vision therapy but I seem to have plateaued. Good luck.
