Anisophoria

Anisophoria or anisophoria refers to differences in the optical abilities of different eyes, which can lead to different visual acuity for each eye, which in turn leads to heterophoria or heterophoria. Anisophobia differs from heterophoria in that with this disease there is only a difference in the visual acuity of the eyes (this may be due to myopia in one eye and farsightedness in the other), while in anisophora there is a difference in the very structure of the eyeball and its location in the orbit.

If, with anisophoria, vision is not impaired or it suffers only slightly, then such a person is able to see well and wear ordinary glasses. However, this can only be done as long as the eyes remain equal in vision. It is worth noting that over time, some uneven visual impairment may occur, and these causes of anisophora will serve as factors for the deterioration of vision or the complete loss of visual abilities. It is worth noting that since the anatomy of the eye almost does not change in an adult body, anisophy most often does not correct over time. That is, acquired anisophenia will certainly become chronic. But it is also worth noting that vision may compensate a little. There are cases when anisophonia was considered as an insignificant sign of the disease, but its necessity lies in the most accurate diagnosis of the cause.

Anisophoria can only be determined with the help of special examinations. The patient may also have to undergo various tests.

Thus, anisophoric diseases need to be diagnosed in a timely manner, receive professional treatment and be regularly monitored by specialists. In this case, there is a high probability of getting rid of anisophia, and the person will be able to lead a full life.
