Exophoria

I have recently being diagnosed with exophoria aged 46.  I'm going to get new glasses which will help and I'm very happy that this will help end my headaches.  However I have a nagging doubt.  I didn't mention to optician that I have been treated by melanoma, now I'm worried that the two may be related.  Can you put my mind at ease please?  Thanks!!

I have an exophoria and so do many people. Its usually assymptomatic.  

There is no relationship between melanoma and exophoria.
