Summary
Many cases of heterophoria are attributable not to an abnormal rest position which is compensated by normal fusion, but to abnormal motor fusion to which the rest position has adapted itself. Such abnormal motor fusion is accompanied by micro-anomalous correspondence. Gradual steps exist in the transition from heterophoria to strabismus with fusion.
Zusammenfassung
Viele Fälle von Heterophorie sind nicht einer abnormalen, von normaler Fusion kompensierten, Ruhelage zuzuschreiben, sondern einer abnormalen motorischen Fusion. Die abnormale Ruhelage stellt eine sekundäre Adaptation dar. Abnormale motorische Fusion ist begleitet von mikro-anomaler Korrespondenz. Zwischen Heterophorie und Schielen mit Fusion gibt es graduelle Übergänge.
