The oculomotor vergence system controls disjunctive eye rotation of convergence (inwards) and divergence (outwards). Convergence Insufficiency (CI) is a binocular vision disorder that exists in 4-17% of the general population. CI incidence rates increase dramatically to ~50% of patients with persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS). Understanding the oculomotor vergence neural system in these groups can lead to improved oculomotor therapeutic interventions.10 binocularly normal vision (BNV) persons (17-22 years old) and 10 PPCS-CI (15-23 years old) participated in this study.
