[ 1] It results in decreased vision in an eye that typically appears normal in other aspects. [ 1] Amblyopia is the most common cause of decreased vision in a single eye among children and ...
Monofixation syndrome ( MFS) (also: microtropia or microstrabismus) is an eye condition defined by less-than-perfect binocular vision. [1] It is defined by a small angle deviation with suppression of the deviated eye and the presence of binocular peripheral fusion. [2] That is, MFS implies peripheral fusion without central fusion.
