The relationships between anomalous retinal correspondence, the angle of deviation, and the fixation behavior were carefully studied in a selected group of 20 amblyopic patients with fixation anomalies. The results indicate that the correspondence theory of CUPPERS, and his definition of eccentric fixation, can be applied only to the limited number of cases in which such a relationship can be demonstrated. We surmise that the majority of amblyopic patients with fixation anomalies have eccentric viewing (using a retinal area possessing relatively the highest resolving power under monocular conditions) since a relationship between location of the eccentric fixation area, the angle of deviation, and the angle of anomaly was not apparent.
