im not a medical student and im not even in college, but i enjoy watching these lectures and learning a little something. Its weird because before watching this lecture i literally had no idea about anything medically concerning the eyes, but i pick up everything you're teaching. You have a ridiculously effective teaching style and i wish that my teachers and professors would have taught with the enthusiasm and skill that you possess. Great job man, you really have a knack for simplifying the material and making it perfectly accessible for your students to pick up on.
Thank you Dr. Root for such a clear explanation with practical clinical application in both identifying and documenting. Very helpful- great job! thanks for sharing CJ DScPT
You are such an excellent lecturer who makes difficult eye topics to become a very interesting and easy comprehensive topics to learn Thanks God for your existing. Thank you too.
This was very educational for me as I’ve recently been analysed with a exophoria by a vision trainer and have since been reading about that condition a lot. Thank you Mr. Root.
So it's not about the direction of movement initially, it's about a "correcting" movement. So when you cover you look for where the eye is moving away from to "correct" to. Awesome! I understand this so much better now! Always got the eso and exo part of phorias mixed up.
very helpful but almost always in phorias, the cover uncover test shows a little movement in the eye that is uncovered that comes from restoration of binocular vision. in exophoria it moves from "out" to "in" and in esophorias from "in" to out. The movement is easily observed on the preferred eye and sometimes not observed or a little bit more slow in the non-preferred eye.
Great lesson, really. You have an excellent method of teaching, and the filming technique used offers a magnificent way of understanding the eye movements. Good up the good work!
Can vision therapy help with a binocular esophoria, right now I have corrective prism lenses (1.5 diopter in each eye, total 3 diopter)? Can you ever get back to straight vision?
Ur very good at explaining things , but I think when it comes to phorias we it involves the tow eyes so we shouldn't say right phoria for example.Best regards from Norway .
Hi, my doctor did those alnernate cover tests yesterday, and told me that I have a slight phoria in the left eye. I started to look up more information, and found your lecture. I have a question that the doctor didn't make clear, when my right eye is covered my left eye goes slightly to the left, and it takes a little longer to move and follow the right eye. Is that iso phoria, or what sort of phoria is it? He said something about later on getting some kind of spherical lenses or pointed lenses or something... could you explain a little? thank you!
When undertaking the cross-cover or cover-uncover test so I ask the patient to stare at a point in the distance? or anywhere in particular? Thanks in advance. Great lecture!

In 4th med, my third time learning this, never before had it explained and taught so perfectly. Incredible.
I know how you feel bro :D
lol being in 4tht year myself and day after tomorrow is my ward test and this is the resource my whole college uses to pass it
I'm an 18 yr veteran PCP. By far, this is the BEST lecture on tropias/phorias I have ever seen! THANK YOU TIM!
honestly speaking, you are probably one of the best ophthalmologists out there, you make it look so easy. hatts off Sir Tim.
This lecture was eye-opening :)
I don't usually comment on videos, but this one is AMAZING. Thank you very much for posting
You are the greatest teacher of ophthalmology.. salute sir.
Thank you Dr. Root for such a clear explanation with practical clinical application in both identifying and documenting. Very helpful- great job! thanks for sharing CJ DScPT
I’m taking my COT skills tomorrow and you teach things so simply yet so effectively

Still one of the best videos after 11 years
All your videos are very helpful ! I'm in school now for COMT and I watch these all the time
So it's not about the direction of movement initially, it's about a "correcting" movement. So when you cover you look for where the eye is moving away from to "correct" to. Awesome! I understand this so much better now! Always got the eso and exo part of phorias mixed up.
Think “exo” like “exit”, meaning “out”!
Excellent explanation. Thank you..I am an NP student and your lecture was crystal clear.
This guy must be legendary optometrist.
Made tough topic like squint so easy.
Excellent ..was very useful as teaching tool for the optometry class
i used it for my clinical skill lecture
Its too gud to undstanding & diagnosis the conditions of strabismic
This video makes things so much more simpler! Thank you so much!!
i've always had confusion with the movements in eso and exo tropias in the cover- uncover test until now..this was really helpful. thanx a lot
very helpful but almost always in phorias, the cover uncover test shows a little movement in the eye that is uncovered that comes from restoration of binocular vision. in exophoria it moves from "out" to "in" and in esophorias from "in" to out. The movement is easily observed on the preferred eye and sometimes not observed or a little bit more slow in the non-preferred eye.
Great lesson, really. You have an excellent method of teaching, and the filming technique used offers a magnificent way of understanding the eye movements. Good up the good work!
Simply ' Wow'.
Neurology resident here. Thanks again.
Wow you’re truly master of ophthalmology 🤯🤩🤩🤩
Dear Sir, in phorias you can see the movement when you perform both cover uncover test and cross cover test.
who's awesome at tropias and phorias?
you're awesome at tropias and phorias.
Thanks man.
best lecture ever... on ophthalmology!! Great one!!

You are an amazing instructor. Thank you for helping me sort out confusion for my COT!!
Thank you. This lecture helped me to find out that behavioral optometrist prescribed the wrong treatment to my child.
Thank you sooo much ! I was having such a hard time understanding the logic behind that cover test but not anymore !!
You rock! You have the best videos. I have learned more from your videos than the training at my job.
4th year med student here...excellent demonstration.
4th year medstudent here, thanks for this! :)

FANTASTIC...MIND BLOWING...VERY HELPFUL TO CLEAR THE CONCEPT...TAHNK U VERY MUCH.
OMG. THIS IS SUCH A GOOD EXPLANATION. AMAZING.
Thank you so much its an old video but the best one to learn about tropics and phoria .
Can vision therapy help with a binocular esophoria, right now I have corrective prism lenses (1.5 diopter in each eye, total 3 diopter)? Can you ever get back to straight vision?
thank you! This is easier than my lecturer.
This is so easy to understand, thank you very much!
Awesome review for semester exams! Thanks
This is excellently taught.. thankyou
It was very helpful sir tq so much...for ur great lecture...tq for making the concepts crystal clear
Ur very good at explaining things , but I think when it comes to phorias we it involves the tow eyes so we shouldn't say right phoria for example.Best regards from Norway .
its really nice to see how things work in action . very helpfull and tottaly recomendable for all refractionists and ophthalmologists
Great explanation sir...Well done
Brilliant lecture though... Made it much easier to understand.
If you see the defect with cardinal movements should you still do the cover/uncover test etc. In terms of being assessed in an exam setting?
Absolutely EXCELLENT!
Great video, I was thinking that unilateral cover test was assessing for Phorias and the alternating cover test for tropias ???
You are unROOTing the difficult topics
Thank you so much . one of the best videos.
Are there any way to cure these problems
Very useful, you made it so simple to understand, thanks a lot 👍👍
thank u so much dr. will be having exams on paeds. this helps alot. thank u!
You helped me understand my eye problem.. I was just diagnosed..thanks!
Really very interesting lecture sir
are phorias always non-specific? and always in both eyes if they exist?
awesome video! thanks for taking the time to do this, you are a great lecturer!
You're awesome, thank you. I now fully understand those two tests
Spot on explanation!! Thank a lot Sir.
Thank u....it's very usefull....
Just a question to ask...
Why didn't phoria show up when uncovering the eye but only did when doing alternate covering?
my concepts are crystal clear now thanks to u !great lecture.. :):):)
wish I had you as my instructor !
love these lectures
you are an excellent teacher...
Extremely useful lectures!
This was a great video, thank you!

Thanks a lot Dr.Tim
Really You are awesome
Thanks, these videos were great teaching lesson
It makes me confused now the other ophthalmologist said that if the deviation is going out that would be exotropia but in the video said esotropia🤦♀️
When undertaking the cross-cover or cover-uncover test so I ask the patient to stare at a point in the distance? or anywhere in particular? Thanks in advance. Great lecture!
they have to be using the best correction suited for them and have to be looking at a light or even snellen chart at the appropriate distance
This is gold!!!!!! OMG i loved this so much
Watching in 2019
From Nepal
much needed this video. thank youuu
This was an amazing explanation! Thankyou so much!
All your lectures are easy to understand and I really enjoy looking them like a movie
Awesome teacher! Easy on the eyes too, no pun intended :)
Is Phoria overcome by exercise ?
Excellent video
sir, is a phoria identifiable with the use of the cover-uncover test?
Can you come and lecture at my university in the UK please?
I promise to return you once I graduate.
that was incredible
thank you so much ❤
Sir, thank you so much. 😊
