Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trials (CITT) Information
The Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trials (CITT) studies are now entering the public domain with a series of publications. This landmark study shows that convergence insufficiency (CI) can be effectively treated by office-centered optometric vision therapy. If further goes on to say that simple pencil pushups alone or home-based computer driven vision therapy alone do not sure the CI. This is very significant and is in total alignment with the way I approach the treatment of CI. Here is a guide to some of the information available on the net on this topic:
- National Eye Institute (NEI) National Institutes of Health (NIH) press release on CITT
- PUBMED citation of the main publication
- A PDF of the original publication in the American Archives of Ophthalmology
- Here is a PDF of a presentation I gave to optometrists in the Fall of 2009 on this topic
- Access NIH video on this subject
