What is Monofixation syndrome?
Monofixation syndrome (MFS) is an eye movement problem. People with MFS can have:
- Eyes that are mostly straight
- Some 3D vision
- Slightly blurry vision in one eye
It can happen in kids or adults. It can happen on its own or after eye muscle surgery.
How do doctors find Monofixation syndrome?
Doctors can find monofixation syndrome during regular eye check ups. Sometimes it can be hard to see without special tests with an eye doctor (ophthalmologist).
How do you treat Monofixation syndrome?
Most of the time, no treatment is needed for monofixation syndrome. Many people with MFS do well. Treatment may be needed if the vision is really blurry (amblyopia) or if there is a big eye movement problem (strabismus). Treatments for MFS are: eye patching, prisms/special glasses and eye muscle surgery.
More scientific information about monofixation syndrome can be found at EyeWiki.
Talk with your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) if you have more questions about monofixation syndrome.
