Praying4OCS - Thanks man!

UMichfly - ya, you're other thread actually put me at ease quite a bit knowing I should be within quals...I am definitely going to do those exercises so I hopefully won't have to worry about this at NAMI...thanks!

tiz84 - ya, I was thinking the same thing, haha...

Is that like "walleye vision?" I hear there's a delicate corneal inversion procedure... a multi-opti-pupil-optomy. But, in order to keep from damaging the eye sockets, they've got to go in through the rectum...

:D:D

Seriously, though...that sucks. Good luck and keep us updated...

I salute your bravery in admitting to the ready room here that you suffer from heterophoria. :D

Just keep fighting it, dude. The esoteric medical stuff is actually sometimes easier to get through, get re-evaluated, or get waived than the more common problems. Heterophoria/exophoria? Um...let's see what we can do...what is that again? Red/green colorblind? Thanks for playing, there's the door.

Ain't over 'til the head honcho says it's over. And sometimes not even then. Best of luck to ya.
 
Thanks guys...I'll be sure to post when I hear anything...but like you all know...it's NOMI so I'll see you guys in about a year...;)
 
Hey Blur,

If the exophoria is really what the "problem" was you should be fine at 4.0. You are correct, the cut-off is 6.0 for exophoria. I had one eye exam where they measured 6.0 and another where they measured 5.0 and my SNA physical cleared NOMI. I definetly want to find that eye work-out card and eliminate my exo as well, I don't want to have this come back and bite me later.
 
Ya...I'm pretty sure that's what it is...under the Heterophoria section on the physical there are 4 subsections: ES, EX, RH, and LH...there is a big fat 4 under EX and zeros under the rest. I feel pretty confident in guessing that ES = Esophoria and EX = Exophoria...not sure what RH and LH are. Anyway, everything else is a-ok...

Also, I was looking at getting those eye-workout cards, they ain't cheap though...I've got a free eye exam to use on my insurance so I may head to the doc and see if they can't provide me with something...
