Ok, now I'am confused.

Where talking about a tropia not phoria. Tropia=manifest squint and phoria=latent squint.

FAA says clearly that a strabismus is a denial, despite how much deviation.The JAR-FCL requirements only covers the laten squint Heterophoria and not heterotropia. My question was if anybody know if JAR-FCL also denies a strabismus.

I know that I have a little bit of heterophoria but most people have a little bit of that. A few people are orthophoric (no deviation at all). This stuff I have found on the internet so I'am not a doctor or something.Also since I'am greek I understand alot of the words used, exo=out eso=inward hyper=upwards etc

Anyway I told him to go and take a medical exam to know for sure.
