Acquired monofixation syndrome.
Monofixation syndrome is a well documented sensory abnormality occurring in patients with childhood-onset strabismus. We report the development of monofixation syndrome in six adults with strabismus. It is proposed that constant strabismus, which precludes and prevents bifixation, can result in the development of monofixation syndrome if the strabismic deviation is not corrected promptly.
