SQUINT QUERY
I was detected with outward squint in my right eye today. Doctor wrote ADS 15°, somewhere it written as RDS 15°. my near point of convergence is 12 cm. What is this ADS or RDS stands for ? What type of squint is it? My stereoscopic vision -ve, -ve is written but I was able to point out 2 3D images successfully out of 4. My vision is 6/6 in both eyes with glasses. Am I suffering from convergence inefficiency ( 12 cm) ?, And what is this ADS or RDS squint ?
