Monofixation syndrome (MFS) (also: 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 the presence of binocular peripheral fusion. [2] That is, MFS implies peripheral fusion without central fusion.

This condition is sometimes called "lazy eye", but that term normally refers to the condition amblyopia. If severe enough and left untreated, the drooping eyelid can cause other conditions, such as amblyopia or astigmatism, so it is especially important to treat the disorder in children before it can interfere with vision development.
Other phenomena of binocular vision include utrocular discrimination (the ability to tell which of two eyes has been stimulated by light), [6] eye dominance (the habit of using one eye when aiming something, even if both eyes are open), [7] allelotropia (the averaging of the visual direction of objects viewed by each eye when both eyes are open ...
