Struggling to focus your eyes? Here’s an easy convergence test you can try at home! Hold a tape

Описание: Struggling to focus your eyes? Here’s an easy convergence test you can try at home! Hold a tape measure to your nose. Try crossing your eyes and focusing on the numbers. The closest point where your eyes can still see as one is called the Near Point of Convergence (NPC). The number should be single and you should see two tape measures crossing at that number. Why is this important? If your NPC is farther than the norm (5cm/2.5in), it could be a sign of Convergence Insufficiency (CI) or Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD). Symptoms of poor NPC include: • Blurry vision • Double vision • Headaches • Difficulty reading or concentrating • Eye strain Checking your NPC can provide insight into issues that may be affecting your daily life, especially tasks like reading, driving, or working on a computer. What’s the norm? A healthy NPC should be around 5cm from your nose. If yours is beyond this range, it may be time to see a behavioral optometrist for an evaluation! Let us help you!
