Visual Fixation Incorrect Stable

Incorrect stable visual fixation (IVR) is a visual impairment in which the image of an object is constantly projected onto the same incorrect area of ​​the retina.

Under Z.f.n. The patient's eyes fixate not on the center, but on the periphery of the visual field. This leads to the fact that the image of the object does not fall on the central fovea of ​​the retina, which is responsible for clear vision. As a result, a person sees objects distorted and blurry.

Z.f.n. often occurs with strabismus, when one eye is not fixed correctly. But it can also develop with normal eye position, if for some reason the brain has developed an incorrect fixation setting.

For the treatment of Z.f.n. they use orthoptics and pleoptics methods - special exercises and procedures aimed at restoring correct eye movements and fixation. The earlier treatment is started, the greater the chances of achieving lasting results. In advanced cases, surgery may be required.

Visual fixation is normally called unidirectional concentration of attention on any point in space. If the eye shifts in relation to the intended point, then the person stops fixing it, quickly moves his gaze to a given point in space and again fixes this point of view
