Eye divergence waiver

Hello, does anybody have any experience with receiving a waiver for eye divergence excess without tropia? I am currently applied to USMMA. Thank you.

There's a reason why one of your eyes is suppressing. Do the doctors know why?

In other words, your brain doesn't like the fact that your eyes are not coordinated so it's seeing 2 images. Your brain suppresses the input in one eye so it'll process only the image in the other eye thereby giving you only one image like most other people.

Yes, the doctors did not tell me, but my eyes only diverge when one eye is covered and I am trying to focus on an image far away, or some kind of object is in the view of one of my eyes and I try to focus on a distant object, they diverge. Other than those circumstances, my vision is normal and I produce 1 image

You probably went through a whole battery of tests at the eye doctor’s office as part of the waiver requirements.

Most of those test were to see if you have double vision and issues with depth perception. If you passed those tests, then you have a good chance for a waiver.

I have to caveat my answer by saying I have never worked for DODMERB, any of the waiver authorities, or been the one making medical recommendations to the WAs so I don’t know the actual decision-making process of this condition. Good luck.
