Understanding Exophoria and the Mechanics of Binocular Vision Exophoria is a specific type of binocular vision disorder characterized by a latent tendency of the eyes to deviate outward. Unlike strabismus, where the misalignment is constant and visible to an observer, exophoria is often hidden because the brain and eye muscles work together to maintain alignment […]
