Purpose : In order to verify using Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey(CISS) is proper method to distinguish convergence insufficiency(CI) group and normal binocular vision(NBV) group in adults. Methods : 97 subjects 19 to 35 with normal VA and no strabismus participated in this study. Phoria, positive fusional vergence(PFV), nearpoint of convergence(NPC) and accommodation convergence/ accommodation(AC/ A) of 97 were measured. Results : According to criteria, 62 subjects were included in this study and analysed with CISS. Nine subjects had CI and 53 had NBV. General symptoms of CI group were significantly greater occurrence of Jose concentration, tiredness, sleepiness, uncomfort, double vision and blurring in that order. A significant difference between CISS seore of CI subjects (mean±SD: 25.67±7.67) and NBV group(l2.74 ±4.80) were found(p=O.OOO). The area under the ROC curve was 0.955 indicating outstanding discrimination using the CISS. Using seores of 21 or higher to denote CI, a sensitivity of 88.9% and specificity of 98.1% were obtained. Conclusions : The results suggest that the CISS is a valid instrument for differentiating adults with symptomatic CI from those with symptomatic NBV. Adopting score 21 as cutoff value, it is proved that distinguishing Cl from normal is most precise. Additionally, Adults in this age group were able to respond to a broad range of symptom questions associated with CI. It. therefore, demonstrates CISS is a valid preliminary examination to scan CI patient.
