 +===Scoring===
 +  - Collect response to each question from one of the 5 possible responses: 
 +    - "Never" = 0 points
 +    - "Infrequently" = 1 point
 +    - "Sometimes" = 2 points
 +    - "Fairly Often" = 3 points
 +    - "Always" = 4 points
 +  - Tally points from each question- the total will be from 0-60 points
 +
 +===Analysis of Score===
 +If score is **≥ 16** CI is likely
 +  * Convergence Insufficiency mean= 30.8 ± 8.4
 +  * Normal mean = 8.4 ± 6.4 
 +  * Cut of value of **16** gives sensitivity of 95.7% and specificity of 87.5%
