Phorias and imbalance muscles

Hi everyone,
Some weeks ago I was at the Spanish medical center CIMA to do the First Class Medical, all went very well but at the oftalmologic test I could see in my report paper a note wich made me get worried and it said: Hyperphoria 4 dioptres. Then the specialist made me some tests more:

- He stared at my eyes with a light to do the cover test
- I put a glasses with a red lense in one of my eyes and a green lense in the other one, and then I looked to a book to test my stereoscopic vision, everything was well, I could see the typical circles, triangles, butterflies in relief.
- Finally I put my head in something where he stared again at my eyes to measure my ocular tension, asthenopia, and everything was ok again.
Then he put a tick in the gap which said "Normal vergence and fusional perception"

In the JAR-FCL said that I MAY be issued a medical certificate if fusional is ok but depends on what the doctor decides, not who made me the test, another one I couldn't see and who finally decides if I pass or not. My results will be sent me in one or two month, they don't tell you nothing on the same day becasue "results must be evaluated and it takes some time". So now I'm a little worried about this problem I don't know if finally I'll be issued.

Anybody have a similar experience and could tell me what happened??

Thanks in advanced.

PD: Other parameters during my test were:
Visual acuity 1 both eyes and 1 on each eye.
Myopia 1 diopter on each eye
Astigmatism 0,5 on right eye
No tropies.
Good vision of colors.
No surgeries
No significant patologies
