Comitant vs. Incomitant:
* Comitant deviation has the same magnitude in all directions of gaze, typical of long-standing or childhood strabismus
* Incomitant deviation changes with gaze direction, often pointing to cranial nerve palsy, restrictive disease, or orbital pathology
* Comitant deviation has the same magnitude in all directions of gaze, typical of long-standing or childhood strabismus
* Incomitant deviation changes with gaze direction, often pointing to cranial nerve palsy, restrictive disease, or orbital pathology

Phorias vs. Tropias:
* Tropia is a manifest deviation: the eye is misaligned even when both eyes are open
* Phoria is a latent deviation: the misalignment appears only when fusion is disrupted (e.g., cover–uncover test)
