About this course
Convergence test is used to find the ability of the eyes to move and work together. The Near Point of Convergence determines the closest point to the eyes, at which convergence can be maintained. In this test, convergence is measured using Royal air force rule. Convergence is measured objectively and subjectively. An ophthalmic assistant must be able to measure Near Point of convergence accurately to provide the right treatment. This session deals with the step by step procedure to measure near point of convergence, materials required and the documentation method.
