Amblyopia and the monofixation syndrome
Summary
Monofixation syndrome in children involves esotropia and esophoria. Patching for amblyopia can worsen strabismus, leading to larger esotropia. This highlights treatment considerations for pediatric eye conditions.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Pediatric Optometry
- Strabismus Research
Background:
- Monofixation syndrome often presents with small-angle constant esotropia and significant esophoria.
- Esophoria is typically well-controlled in affected children, except during fatigue or eye dissociation.
