Exophoria

Exophoria

Exophoria is a variety of heterophoria in which there is a tendency for the visual axes to deviate outward (latent divergent strabismus). Clinically this may be observed in the cover-uncover test as an inward movement as the covered eye is uncovered. Exophoria may occur in individuals with myopia, and may be physiological in many subjects because of the alignment of the orbits.
