Do you have information on convergence insufficiency disorder?


I have a nine year old son. Two years ago at an eye exam in Rochester, NY., the Doctor told me my son had nearly perfect vision but that his eyes did not converge properly. That there was treatment but it was very expensive , not covered by insurance and most likely it would correct itself over time. My son also has a mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss in his left ear. He has a full scale IQ of 116 WJA III broad reading 69, broad written 75 and broad math 97. He is eager to learn through disscussion but struggles with independant learning. He is in a special education class and has shown some improvement. However I feel we are not adressing what is causing his delays. Dear Abby had an article on CID and I noticed many similarities. He gets sleepy when he reads, and he seems to jump around the page a lot, among other things. If you are aware of any testing or treatment options around Osceola County,Fl., PLEASE fill me in. Help me help my child. Thank You for any input.

This is the second question, same question.

I put my reply in the last one.

Regarding convergence insufficiency, there is at least one report which shows that for ADHD - Inattentive type - that coffee - caffeine compounds can temporary reduce convergence insufficiency.
