At-Home Convergence Test (Hidden Vision Problem Most People Miss)

If reading makes you tired…
Screens drain you faster than they should…
Or you avoid close-up work altogether…

There’s a reason and most people never think to look here.

In this video, Dr. Bryce Appelbaum walks you through a simple at-home test to check your eye convergence or how well your eyes work together up close.

Because vision isn’t just about seeing clearly. It’s about how your eyes and brain work together to keep things single, stable, and in focus.

When that system isn’t working efficiently, your brain has to compensate and that’s where symptoms start to show up.
