The impact of convergence insufficiency on selective visual attention among university students

This study compares visual processing speed and accuracy between Convergence Insufficiency (CI) patients and controls during an attentionally demanding visual search task.

Educational Objectives

Educational Aim:

To examine the effect of Convergence Insufficiency (CI) on selective visual attention by comparing performance on a modified visual search task between patients with CI and visually normal controls.

Educational Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module practitioners should have a clear understanding of:

1. The evidence that CI negatively impacts visual processing speed (Reaction Time) without compromising accuracy during selective visual attention tasks.
2. The positive correlation between CI symptom severity (CISS scores) and cognitive processing delay (Reaction Time).
3. The suggestion that visual processing speed assessments should be considered in routine clinical evaluations and interventions for CI.
