Convergence Insufficiency is a vision disorder that affects the ability of the eyes to work together as a team when looking at something up close. One eye or both eyes might “check out” causing one eye or another visual efficiency skill to over-compensate. This can lead to symptoms of double or blurred vision.

Eye-teaming or binocularity is crucial for maximal vision.
