Anisometropia is caused by common refractive errors, such as astigmatism, far-sightedness, and myopia, in one eye. [6] Anisometropia is likely the result of both genetic and environmental influences. [7] Some studies suggest, in older adults, developing asymmetric cataracts may cause worsen anisometropia.
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]
If left untreated at a young age foveal suppression occurs and the eccentric area of the deviated eye replaces foveal fixation for both binocular and monocular vision. This occurs with the interest of finding better visual acuity, however all patients found with eccentric fixation have amblyopia, suppression, anisometropia and poorer stereopsis ...

During an eye examination, the presence of suppression and the size and location of the suppression scotoma may be the Worth 4 dot test (a subjective test that is considered to be the most precise suppression test), or with other subjective tests such as the Bagolini striated lens test, or with objective tests such as the 4 prism base out test.
Far-sightedness primarily affects young children, with rates of 8% at 6 years old and 1% at 15 years old. [9] It then becomes more common again after the age of 40, known as presbyopia, affecting about half of people. [4] The best treatment option to correct hypermetropia due to aphakia is IOL implantation. [2]
Near-sightedness is the most common disorder. [6] Rates among adults are between 15 and 49% while rates among children are between 1.2 and 42%. [7] Far-sightedness more commonly affects young children and the elderly. [8] [9] Presbyopia affects most people over the age of 35. [3]
[6] Cortical blindness-Cortical blindness is the total or partial loss of vision in a normal-appearing eye caused by damage to the brain's occipital cortex. [7] Retrobulbar neuritis- Retrobulbar neuritis cause of visual loss with normal fundus but there will be relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) and abnormal visually evoked responses. [8]
