sportswidow05, my daughter was Diagnosed with Convergence Insufficiency when she was a little younger than yours and we were told she needed eye therapy.
Be very careful, not all eye doctor's believe eye therapy actually works my daughter went for several years and it cost us several thousand dollars(not covered by ins.)She didn't take it seriously and eventually the doctor said she really had improved greatly and she should be ok. But she still had trouble reading. So at about age 15 she's all upset because she's still struggling to read so back we go to the doctor and he tells us she needs more eye therapy, so several thousand bucks later she is still having trouble so we stop the eye therapy. Now at almost 17 she is getting better with help from special ed in school which is helping but she may never read as well as her peers.

I don't mean to scare you but don't take one doctor's advice seek second opinion's and if eye therapy is decided upon make sure she is taking it very serious, they try to make it fun with prizes and at the young age that's all my daughter could think of. I think the doctor we went to is a scam artist. Before you go to the eye therapist google eye therapy there are different view points that may help.

Do you have a family doctor or pediatrician you trust? Ask them their opinion.


If you have any questions feel free to ask.
