Heterophoria - what does this mean
Heterophoria is a condition in which the eyes have a tendency to deviate from their normal alignment, either inward (esophoria) or outward (exophoria). it is caused by a misalignment of the extraocular muscles, which are responsible for controlling eye movements. this misalignment can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, trauma, or neurological disorders.
What happens during the disease - heterophoria
Heterophoria is a condition in which the eyes are misaligned, either because of a lack of coordination between the extraocular muscles, or due to a mismatch in the length of the two eyes. this misalignment can cause symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, headaches, and eye strain. it can also lead to a decrease in visual acuity, and may even cause difficulty in focusing on objects. treatment for heterophoria typically involves the use of prism lenses, eye exercises, and vision therapy.

Heterophoria can be prevented by ensuring that the eyes are kept in alignment through the use of vision therapy, eyeglasses, contact lenses, or prism lenses. regular eye exams should also be done to ensure the eyes are in proper alignment. additionally, lifestyle changes such as reducing screen time, increasing time spent outdoors, and eating a healthy diet can help to reduce the risk of developing heterophoria.
