However, in cases where an exophoria remains decompensated with full correction, a myopic overcorrection can be considered if the patient has adequate accommodative amplitude (see Figure 1).

In the present study, the distance and near phoria had a tendency to show more exophoria. Based on previous studies [25, 26], it would be logical to suggest that the decreased convergence and changed phoria after 3D TV viewing may be due to the adaptation of the vergence and accommodative controllers [27].

In Condition 3, one participant showed a significant increase in exophoria. No significant changes occurred in any other aspect of visual function for these three participants.

While convergence insufficiency (CI) was the main clinical vergence dysfunction (42.5%), other vergence deficits that were also found with a relatively high frequency included binocular instability (10.0%), convergence excess (2.5%), basic exophoria (2.5%), and divergence insufficiency (<2.0%) [7].

This generally occurs when contact lens correction will not provide adequate sole management of BV disorders--the first example being the child exhibiting a large exophoria or intermittent exotropia in spectacles.

The myope up close

It is a common vision anomaly usually characterized as a binocular vision disorder with a low AC/A ratio in which the patient may have an orthophoria or exophoria at distance, with a moderate to high exophoria at near, greater than the distance phoria [3, 4], reporting as clinical characteristics, several symptoms and signs that can be present during the visual examination [1, 5-10].

Each manifested a receded NPC, abnormally high exophoria at near, and decreased compensatory fusional vergence ranges at near; thus, they were classified as having CI [4].

She's been lucky enough not to suffer amblyopia or esotropia as many of her similarly hyperopic counterparts--with her distance refraction she exhibits a moderate exophoria at near.
