Abstract
Recent studies suggest that the ocular convergence insufficiency (OCI) and the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) present a superposition of signs and symptoms which can be correlated. In this context, OCI may guide the clinical diagnostic of ADHD in children, teenagers and adults. Different authors propose that the search for signs and symptoms of OCI must be performed during the diagnostic process of ADHD, since it is an easy and lowcost examination procedure. The aim of this short communication is to discuss this subject and to present future perspectives on this theme.
