autophoric?? Thanks.
Possibly orthophoric ?
The cover test is used to measure phoria.
The clinician tells the person to stare at an object while covering one eye. The covered eye is allowed enough time to drift to its resting position. The paddle is then quickly moved to cover the other eye, and the first eye must swing into position to pick up fixation. The doctor watches this movement to see if the eye moved in (indicating an exophoria) or out (indicating an esophoria). If there is no movement there is no phoria (orthophoria).
