For how long and how many times in a day we should do pencil push-ups to treat convergence inefficiency so that intermittent exotropia can be treated . Doctor advised me to do convergence exercises first for two months. Kindly tell me what are those convergence exercises and for how long I should do them, especially pencil push-ups. Thanks.

hold a pencil in your  outstretched hand hold it approx 50 cm from eyes  in between the nose and eyes  .slowly bring it towards your  nose while looking at the pencil. as your hand comes  closer ,at a particular distance you observe that the tip of pencil  is double. here you squeeze your eyes for few secondsfor 5 minute repeat it several times ie 4 to 5 times a day
