  • Title: On the relationship between strabismic amblyopia and eccentric fixation.
    Author: Hess RF.
    Journal: Br J Ophthalmol; 1977 Dec; 61(12):767-73. PubMed ID: 603784.
    Abstract:
    Landolt C and grating acuity are compared with that normally expected of the eccentric fixation region for 10 strabismic amblyopes. The findings suggest that 2 populations of amblyopes exist. For some amblyopes visual function is that predicted of the eccentric region used for fixation, whereas for other amblyopes there is a further pathological reduction in visual function. These findings may have an important bearing on the type of orthoptic treatment used for amblyopia.
