Abstract
A study was carried out to test the validity-related evidence of a child and a parent symptom survey developed by the Convergence Insufficiency and Reading Study (CIRS) group. A case comparison method was used to measure differences in symptoms between 14 school-aged children (ages 8 to 13 years) with Convergence Insufficiency (CI) and 14 children with normal binocular vision (NBV). The results indicate that the CIRS symptom survey is a valid instrument for differentiating CI children from those with normal binocular vision. In addition, children in this age group responded binocular to a board range of symptom questions associated with CI.
