— The theories and characteristics of anomalous retinal correspondence (ARC) are critically reviewed and a classification of ARC is proposed which attempts to reconcile various aspects of the different theories. It is suggested that ARC in microtropia, and perhaps some small‐angle squints, is a cortical adaptive mechanism, whereas squints with a larger and more variable angle have ARC with different characteristics, which are better explained by the motor theory.
