Lazy eye???


Question: I have a lazy left eye. It looks like i dont have a left eye and my right eye is in the middle of my face and my left eye is just peripheral vision. I Can see really well our of my right eye. 100% better than my left eye. When I go cross eyed my right eye stays and my lazy eye turns in. When i create double vision my left eye stays and my right eye turns outwards. My eyes do move together when i look around normally. When I close my right eye and look out of my lazy eye everything looks like its further away and normally, (because I see out of my right) everything is normal.

I believe my left eye is a bit farsighted.

Now some questions:

1. If my left eye is lazy shouldn't IT be staying straight when I go cross eyed and my good eye (right eye) be turning inwards? and seeing double vision, my good eye turns outwards and left eye stays straight as I already said.


2. Do you have a lazy eye? Describe how you see and if you see like me and how.

3. Can you create double vision anytime?
Answers: 1- Lazy eyes can deviate differently depending on the person. Look these words: Esotropia, Esophoria, Exotropia, and Exophoria. The brain learns how to use the eyes during the first 5 years of life. During this time, it will occasionally stop using one eye. After the age of 5, the only way to fix this problem is surgery. Vision in a lazy eye will never get better unless research and technology advances.

2-3: Double vision can mean many things. I can cross my eyes toward each other to create double vision. Abnormal people can deviate their eyes away from each other. Double vision can also be caused by astigmatism, brain tumors, and much more.
you need to do this exercise:
look at the tip of your finger all the way to your nose untill you start seing double then start again about 40 times 3 times a day, it should get better, you will always have dounble vision because you have 2 different perspectives
I have a very slightly lazy eye. My right eye is lazy and has always been so since I was a child. My parents chose not to get it corrected with an eye patch so I'll always have it, but it's not that obvious so I'm fine with it.

I can create double vision any time I want. Sometimes I'll make my lazy eye move to entertain my friends, but it's only a slight jiggle.

When the eye doctor tested my eyes today, he held up a stick-thing with a cross on it and then used something to cover each eye individually, going back and forth quickly. I could feel my vision shifting slightly each time he made the switch, when normally I don't think your vision should switch. You can mimick this test by holding up your thumb and then covering each eye with a hand. Go back and forth and see if you feel your vision switch.

My eye isn't going off on its own all the time, so my experience will be different from yours. However, my lazy eye does see slightly less effectively than my normal one. Also, when I'm really tired, my lazy eye will lose focus and I'll get double vision, so I can't really read and I'll have to go to sleep.

When I let my lazy eye relax and wander a little, it looks like my normal eye seems to move into the middle of my head (when i look at my reflection). If I go cross-eyed both of my eyes move to the middle.
