A binocular vision disorder characterized by a significantly higher exophoria or intermittent exotropia at distance compared to near fixation. It involves an excessive outward deviation of the eyes when viewing distant objects, while the exophoria is much lower or absent at near. This condition can lead to diplopia or suppression and is often associated with convergence insufficiency or high AC/A ratio.
