	abstract = {PURPOSE: To examine the association between Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) scores, Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS) scores, and oculomotor deficits post-concussion. METHODS: Records of adolescent patients examined in a multidisciplinary concussion clinic between July 2014 and May 2019 were reviewed. PCSS\&nbsp;and CISS scores, results of eye examination and oculomotor assessment, concussion history, and demographics were abstracted. RESULTS: One hundred and forty patient records (median age, 15.3\&nbsp;years; 52 males, presented 109\&nbsp;days (median) from their most recent concussion) met inclusion criteria. Mean total scores on PCSS and CISS were 46.67\&nbsp;{\textpm}\&nbsp;25.89 and 27.13\&nbsp;{\textpm}\&nbsp;13.22, respectively, and were moderately correlated with each other (r\&nbsp;=\&nbsp;0.53, p \&lt;\&nbsp;.001). Oculomotor deficits were observed in 123 (88\%) patients. Step-wise linear regression identified increased PCSS total score to be significantly associated with decreased amplitude of accommodation (p \&lt;\&nbsp;.001). Increased CISS total score was significantly associated with receded near point of convergence, developmental eye movement test error scores, and cause of concussion. CONCLUSION: High PCSS scores may indicate an accommodation deficit and thus prompt an oculomotor assessment in patients following a concussion. Using the CISS and a detailed oculomotor assessment may reveal underlying oculomotor deficits, which may benefit from treatment.},
