Convergence is the ability to pull both eyes in towards your nose at the same time. This helps you to look at objects that are close to your face. Convergence insufficiency (CI) is when the ability to pull the eyes in is weak or absent.
CI can cause symptoms such as: headaches double vision when looking close up blurred vision a feeling of eye-strain.
Exercises can help to treat CI. These build up the muscles that pull your eyes in. This leaflet explains how to do different eye exercises.
