Fixed Strabismus

Fixed strabismus is a fixed, non-reducible ocular deviation with severely restricted motility, due to congenital fibrosis, muscle contracture, or heavy-eye syndrome. Treatment: strabismus surgery (recession/transposition) to improve alignment; prognosis for motility is limited; treat amblyopia in children.

Common Symptoms

Fixed eye deviation; severely restricted motility; by cause (fibrosis/contracture/heavy-eye)

Causes and Pathogenesis

Muscle fibrosis/contracture mechanically fixes the eye in deviation.

Treatment

Strabismus surgery (recession/transposition); treat amblyopia; limited motility recovery

Preventive Measures

Early surgery; treat amblyopia.
