Description Decompensated phoria is a common cause of intermittent diplopia without associated symptoms. Conventional wisdom suggests that adults presenting with intermittent diplopia due to decompensation of a phoria will have an abnormal alternate cover test at the time of examination. There are no data in the literature to suggest that prolonged patching may be required in adults to elicit a phoria.
