Specialty	Ophthalmology

Exophoria is a form of heterophoria in which there is a tendency of the eyes to deviate outward.^[1] During examination, when the eyes are dissociated, the visual axes will appear to diverge away from one another.^[2]

The axis deviation in exophoria is usually mild compared with that of exotropia.
