“…These other conditions have been related to academic performance 24 and to morbidity/ quality of life factors. 8 Therefore this study was limited in that we only looked at CI diagnoses and did not investigate these other potential vision conditions. These other conditions might very well have accounted for a number of the students who scored high on the COVD checklist.…”

Purpose: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a serious health concern. Not only has ADHD been implicated as factors of academic performance in school children, it has been positively correlated with delinquency and drug use. Likewise, convergence insuf ficiency (CI) has been correlated with ADHD. Vision Therapy (VT) has recently been shown to improve both symptoms and clinical objective measures of CI. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of VT on visual symptoms and clinical measures for children with symptomatic CI and also ADHD.Methods: A total of 1,090 children attending grades 1 to 6 in one primary school completed a visual symptom checklist. Their parents also completed a checklist of ADHD symptoms. One hundred eighty eight children were visually symptomatic. Of these, 123 were eligible for clinical testing and agreed to participate in the study and subsequently received comprehensive eye/ vision examinations. Thirty one of the children exhibited CI and some of these (N=13) also exhibited ADHD. A therapy group (N=15) underwent a 12week therapy program and was then compared to a control group (N=16). Pearson correlations were calculated to assess if visual symptoms and/or ADHD symptoms were related to academic scores in reading or mathematics. Odds ratios were calculated to determine the prevalence of symptomatic CI subjects and children with ADHD symptoms, when compared to nonsymptomatic children. Results: Visual symptoms and ADHD symptoms were negatively correlated with academic scores for both reading and mathematics. Children with ADHD symptoms were 9times more likely to have visual Lee SH, Park CM, Park SC, Maples WC, Shin HS.

Visual and ADHD symptom scores, and objective visual measures were statistically improved after 12 weeks of therapy.Conclusion: ADHD and CI are correlated. Further, VT improved visual symptoms, ADHD symptoms and clinical signs of CI in those children with CI and ADHD. Both visual symptoms and ADHD symptoms negatively affected school achievement.

“…A total score of 20 or more suggests the presence of potential visual problems. According to this, patients with more than 20 points were classified as symptomatic [26]. All refractive errors were corrected and all subjects wore appropriate prescribed lenses during all the tests administered as part of the main experiment.…”

Vergence prism adaptability was evaluated in subjects with high symptomatic and asymptomatic heterophoria and compared to individuals with a heterophoria within normal range (the control group). A computer haploscope was used to measure phoria values and changes in the eye position after introducing 6 prism diopters base out in front of the right eye. Phoria values were measured with a nonius paradigm every minute for a period of 10 minutes during adaptation. The results showed that subjects with symptomatic heterophoria are characterized by a lower rate of prism adaptation and adapted to a smaller extent with respect to the control group. The group with high but asymptomatic heterophoria showed prolonged adaptation time but after several minutes of binocular viewing the subjects were able to adapt to the prism to a level similar to the control group. These findings suggest that an impairment in the slow vergence control system may be responsible for the inability to fully reduce vergence effort, which results in poor vergence ranges and asthenopic symptoms during prolonged viewing.
