Exophoria

My daughter went to see an eye doctor and was told that she had "some exophoria at near only".  Would this explain why she constantly sees her environment slowly rotate or tilt?  Everything else from her eye exam was normal.  Thank you.

Thank you for responding.  The eye doctor I took her to was a pediatric opthamologist.  Is there any way he could have missed a diagnosis of  vertical phoria, convergence insufficiency, or some other eye misalignment?  Would it require more a more comprehensive visual type of exam (not just for the overall health of the eye)?  Any additional information/insight you can give me is truly appreciated.

Exophoria also will not cause a tilt.  She may also have a vertical phoria.  Please take her to a pediatric ophthalmologist.
