I have monofixation syndrome without amblyopia, discovered only after age 40 when an ophthalmologist who actually knew what they were doing did their job. My understanding is there no durable or neuroplastic adaptation to double vision, amblyopia, or monofixation syndrome after youth because it is permanently wired that way in the ocular-vestibular systems. Corrective eyewear, eye surgery, and/or weaker eye training at early ages may help, but show no evidence of correction in later years. Monofixation syndrome is a neurological adaptation of the brain to minimize the experience of double vision.
