Number of Participants With Symptom Success at 10 Weeks
In the convergence insufficiency group, the primary outcome will be symptom success at the 10-week and 12-month visit, defined as improvement of CI Symptom Survey (CISS) score of at least 9 points and an outcome score of \<21 points. In the divergence insufficiency group, the primary outcome will be symptom success at the 10-week and 12-month visit, defined as diplopia "rarely" or "never" in primary position at distance on the diplopia questionnaire. In the small-angle hypertropia group, the primary outcome will be symptom success at the 10-week and 12-month visit, defined as diplopia "rarely" or "never" both in primary position at distance and in reading position on the diplopia questionnaire.
Time frame: 10 weeks after enrollment

Adult Strabismus 20 Questionnaire Score (DI)
Adult Strabismus Quality of Life Questionnaire (AS-20) For AS-20, scores are reported for the following subscales. A total score will not be reported. 1. Self-perception score 2. Interaction score 3. Reading function score 4. General function score Values for each subscale range from 0 to 100. 0 indicates poor quality of life (the patient reported "always" for all questions) and 100 represents good quality or life (patient reported "never" for all questions)
Time frame: 12 months after enrollment
Mean Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey Score
Mean Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey Score (convergence insufficiency group only) For CISS, the range is from 0 (having no symptoms of CI) to 60 (always showing all symptoms of CI).
Time frame: 12 months after enrollment
