Eccentric Fixation

Eccentric Fixation A failure of an eye in monocular vision to take up fixation with the fovea, but with some other point. This hardly occurs except in clinical conditions as the patient is generally not fixing with that eye anyway. It is only shown when the better eye is covered (Exception = microtropia with identity)
