As Phoria is a binocular vision problem (i.e. when there is a tendency for one eye to move horizontally or vertically away from the point of focus) it is not a factor if you are using an occluder for the non-shooting eye.
No training needed, just use an occluder

Think about a jeweler using an eye loupe to do very precice work. He learns to use only the eye that he is working with. You can do the same if you are willing to spend the time training your master eye to transmitt the image you want to work with and supress tthe image of the non shooting eye. Otherwise follow the advice already provided and use an occulder. Good Shooting Bill Horton

Interesting thing is that a few months after getting shooting glasses, a couple of times I made the mistake of not lowering the occluder when I returned to the line after taking a break.
I was able to shoot as if it was lowered because my brain was so used to taking the vision from my right eye that it excluded the left eye picture.
I am now able to shoot with both eyes open without the occluder but for preference I use it.
I guess I am helped by the fact that I am short-sighted and vision from my left eye would not focus clearly on the sights, leaving the brain to accept clear focus from the other.
