Abstract:
Fixation-linked hypotropia, or hypotropic dissociated vertical deviation, is a rare but well-defined ocular motility disorder characterized by a slow downward drift of a poor-seeing eye when the other eye is fixating on a distant target. It can be successfully treated with a large recession or recession-resection of the inferior rectus muscle. We report 3 cases of fixation-linked nondissociated hypotropia with unilateral high myopia and amblyopia presenting with intermittent hypotropia of the worse-seeing eye when the dominant eye was fixating on a distant target and a hypertropia of the dominant eye when the poorer-seeing eye was made to fix. We discuss the surgical management of one of these patients.

Fixation and Sectioning
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
