A member asked:
What is exophoria? does it have any correlation with downbeat nystagmus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exophoria: is a tendency for the eyes to turn away from each other. It usually does not require treatment, unless there is eye strain with reading. It has no relationship to downbeat nystagmus which is a much more serious problem.
