exophoria

I have 20/20 vision with no issues of blurriness or any other problem. When I went in for my physical they said I scored a 7 on my exophoria exam is this going to be an issue for me clearing my medical part of the FAA hiring process.

thanks for your quick response is this correctable? and is it usually an automatic disqualification? I have been getting physicals for military ATC for 8 years and taken the same exam many times and never had this problem do they usually send you to a optometrist to check your eyes after the initial physical? If you can answer any of these questions I would appreciate it this has been my field for the last 8 years I just separated from the military and I would be disappointed to say the least if this ended my career.

It probably will be check out and sometimes it is correctable with surgery.
