Abstract
Assessment of visual fixation parameters is an essential diagnostic method for patients with amblyopia. Determining the type of visual fixation helps predict the clinical outcome of amblyopia and serves as the foundation for developing treatment strategies and tactics. This article aims to familiarize ophthalmologists with an algorithm for determining visual fixation in a simple, objective, and rapid manner. The practical section covers the diversity of retinal reflexes, introduces the concept of visual fixation, and reviews both national and international classifications. Special attention is given to the algorithm for determining visual fixation using a direct ophthalmoscope and the fundamental principles for interpreting the obtained results.
