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.

    2. Number of Participants With Symptom Success at 12 Months [12 months after enrollment]

      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.
