Course Description
In this presentation we will evaluate through juxtaposition two similar cases, one treated largely through traditional therapeutic measures at our office and the second evaluated just before Shelter in Place mandates were executed and thus treated virtually to date. In traditional therapy, utilizing all of the optometric tools including lenses, therapy, colored filters, and prism our goal is to improve visual comfort. Measuring comfort vergence ranges and near point of comfort to gauge improvement in a patient with convergence insufficiency is important to our treatment plan. It is my hope to illustrate both the successes and pitfalls of performing virtual therapy by comparing these patients and their progress/outcomes.
