Thanks for the response doc! That sounds pretty similar and they did go through with the waiver so I feel as though I have a chance, even if it’s not as easy to get as some waivers. The ophthalmologist did say if it I were to be approved that I’d have to be apart of a focus group (or something similar) to track my condition. I just really hope it doesn’t get to the point of having to try and go for a medical ETP. Thanks again!

Hello Everybody, I recently went to WP for an IFC1 as an OTS Civilian Hire for an AFR heavy Unit. The ophthalmologist diagnosed me with an exophoria outside of the waiverable standards. I was told not to "change any plans" but it seemed that they were preparing me for a DQ or to get an ETP Waiver. After consulting with the flight doc at the end of the week, I was informed that they would put in a waiver for my exophoria, as a I passed depth perception and every other portion of the IFC1. They seemed rather reluctant telling me the situation, even though I had heard from the ophthalmologist prior that it was outside of standard waiver guidelines. This leaves me questioning the possibility of "exophoria outside of standard" being waived. I can't seem to find any information about this outside a few anecdotes posted on here in different threads. One thing I regret from this is that I didn't ask either the ophthalmologist or FD how many diopters my misalignment was. I understand that it's rather unlikely for the waiver to get approved by AETC but wondering if anybody had a similar experience or any flight docs have seen any similar circumstances that were either denied or approved. Anyways, thank you in advance for any gouge or advice!
