Pencil Push-Up Therapy

Pencil push-ups are a simple, low-cost exercise that can help improve convergence ability in patients with convergence insufficiency. While not as effective as office-based vision therapy, they can be beneficial when performed correctly and consistently. 

Pencil push-ups can help improve your patient’s near point of convergence (NPC) and positive fusional vergence, potentially reducing symptoms of convergence insufficiency. Print out this instruction sheet to clarify the procedure for your patients.
