-Phoria

-phoria is a suffix widely used in ophthalmology to denote an abnormal deviation of the eyes from their axes or a reversal of the visual axes.

The term comes from the Greek word "phoros", which means "carrying, having inclination". The suffix -phoria is used to describe a hidden or latent ocular abnormality that occurs when binocular vision is impaired.

For example, heterophoria refers to the tendency of one or both eyes to deviate from parallel visual axes, that is, hidden strabismus. Other examples are: esophoria - the tendency of the eyes to converge inward; exophoria - the tendency of the eyes to diverge outward.

The use of the suffix -phoria allows one to accurately classify various types of binocular vision disorders and eye deviations. This is important for making a diagnosis and selecting treatment for patients with similar problems.

Phoria is a suffix used in ophthalmology to denote an abnormal deviation of the eyes from their axes and a reversal of the visual axes. This can be caused by various reasons, such as damage to the nervous system, eye disease, or injury.

Heterophoria is one example of phoria. This means that the eyes deviate from parallel axes, which can lead to poor vision and discomfort when reading or working on a computer. Heterophoria is usually treated with glasses or contact lenses, which correct the deviation of the eyes.

Another example of phoria is esophoria, which means turning the eyes to the side. This can happen due to various diseases such as glaucoma or cataracts. Treatment for esophoria may include surgery or medications.

Phoria is an important term in ophthalmology because it allows doctors to correctly diagnose and treat various eye diseases.

-Phoria is an important terminological unit in ophthalmology, which describes abnormal deviations of the eyes from their axis or rotations of the visual axes of the eyes. In Russian, this concept is quite rare, however, in ophthalmological research and modern literature, the term is often used to describe visual features in which the eyes may deviate from their normal directions of gaze. The suffix "-phoria" comes from the Greek word "phoros", which means "sight".

The two most common types of visual phoria are heterophoria and aniphoria.

Heterophoria is an eye disease characterized by deviations of the eyeballs' ocular axes that tend to cross the normal defocused axes. These non-parallel lines are called skewed line and also cross visual marks. When the eyes are aligned in inappropriate positions, perception is distorted and vision becomes less clear. Heterophoria can be seen among infants suffering from a condition such as a stuffy nose. Heterophoria also manifests itself in symmetry of overstepping steps (other specific problems with balance) and attention deficit disorder. Its treatment can be successful with the help of optical or reflex exercise.
