The remnants of crossed fixation observed in teenaged children with esotropia.
0
TL;DRAbstract
Crossed fixation exists in esotropia (even in acquired accommodative esotropia) and as the patient ages, one eye becomes dominant leaving the non-dominant eye to fix only in crossed gaze. These cases support Helmholtz's theory that each eye is controlled independently and that binocular coordination is learned.
