Eccentric visual fixation

MedGen UID:
1624962
•Concept ID:
C0262461
•
Finding
Synonym: Eccentric fixation
 
HPO: HP:0025549

Definition

A uniocular condition in which there is fixation of an object by a point other than the fovea. This point adopts the principal visual direction. The degree of the eccentric fixation is defined by its distance from the fovea in degrees. [from HPO]
