Hello Irish,
I’ve already booked an appointment, the day I failed!
I just returned from an eye examination with my optometrist.
He performed all the usual exams. And almost everything included in Class 1 eye examination.
After all these exams, the results: I have “exo phoria” but within the limits published in CAA’s website. He informed me that most people have this problem especially if short sighted! Fortunately, he did not discover any diplopia (Double Vision).
I asked him if it is normal seeing double in extreme “angles”, where the pain in the eye begins. And he replied that it’s normal and its not double vision.
I was wondering though. If I’m within the limits, why the optometrist in Gatwick told me to come again?! I can’t find an answer to that question!
Thank you all for your help and I’ll keep you posted. In about 1 ½ weeks I’ll have the Class 1 re-examination results…

P.S
Dead-Heading,
7120 replied that there are exercises that can improve your “muscle control”.
I asked my optometrist the same question today. If I remember correctly he told me that there are several exercises that can strengthen your eye muscles. On Monday I have to go to my optometrist again. I’ll ask him again for more information regarding your issue.
Cheers!
