Negative change in CISS represents an improvement/decrease of symptoms.
Negative change in near point of convergence (NPC) represents an improvement/decrease in NPC.
Positive change in positive fusional vergence (PFV) represents an improvement/increase in PFV.
After combining the “not at all.” “a little,” and “somewhat” sure categories due to the small number of patients in these groups.
