The most common cause of Vertical Heterophoria is congenital (ie- you are born with it). The symmetry of the shape of your face and the location of your eye sockets, and the symmetry between the eye muscles and their innervation is determined by the time you are born. These people usually become symptomatic with VH by the age of 40, though there are some who become symptomatic at an earlier age, some as early as 4 years old.
The second most common cause of VH is Acquired Brain Injury, of which Traumatic Brain Injury is by far the most frequent reason. TBI's most often occur from Motor Vehicle Accidents, but can also be caused by sports injuries and combat injuries (explosions from bombs and IEDs.
These conditions can in most cases be relieved by prism glasses.
