I think it’s important to add that Intermittent exotropia is not a decompensated exophoria. Intermittent exotropia is a phenomenon in its own category. If it deteriorates it may become constant. A decompansated phoria on the other hand, which leads to a manifest tropia will have as primary symptom double vision.
What is the treatment for decompensated strabismus? I had microstrabismus and amblyopia, but no real problem with binocular vision, until I had strabismus decompensation as a drug side effect earlier this year. I do not have diplopia, just eye strain in certain conditions (far vision, especially for reading) and I can feel that my right eye no longer works with my left one the way it used to do. The phoria/tropia is not so big as to be visible. Is there anything I can do? Or would treatment like Botox, eye muscle exercices or surgery only make things worse?
