Purpose:
To analyze the effect of localisation exercises with hypercorrection prisms on the behaviour of high and medium exophoria revealed in examination with Maddox scale at long and short distance.
Material And Methods:
The patients touch the surrounding objects while looking with each eye separately through a prism of 30 prismatic D with its basis at the nose. The treatment was applied in 35 patients, including 28 with exophoria only at short distance and 7 at both short and long distance. As a result in 20 cases exophoria at long and short distance decreased. It even completely disappeared in one patient who could stop using prismatic correction also at reading.
Conclusion:
Localisation exercises give more persistent results than surgical methods of exophoria treatment.
