Monofixation syndrome (microtropia or microstrabismus) is an eye condition defined by less than perfect binocular vision.[1] It is defined by a small angle deviation with suppression of the deviated eye and binocular peripheral fusion.[2] It often results post surgical treatment of congenital esotropia.[2]
