Lazy Eye, Squint, Crossed Eyed, ALL the same. A lot of Doctors prefer to wait until you are about 17 to perform an operation where they just stitch up the muscle of the side that is weaker. As you have experienced, you are aware of what your eye is doing and this is the reason a lot of doctors prefer for the patient to be older. When kids are younger a lot of the time, they need several operations to correct the problem and quite often this doesn't fix it but only causes scar tissue every time. I would recommend that you wear a patch over your good eye, around the house so your "lazy" one has to work harder. This sometimes will correct the problem along with your awareness of controlling your eye. Good luck.

could be a slight lazy eye, talk to your eye doctor and he will prescribe some glasses to fix that up

Its probably just a habit now.  The only concern would be developing a lazy eye...the one that is not being used.  You should try to force yourself to use the other...and maybe you are not using it for a reason...i.e. you can't see well out of it...so see an eye Dr.

I would say check with the paedetrician /optometrist or whatever the eye specialist is called ...\n\nThat said, maybe it is nothing that special.\nI do that when I read a book, am tired but can't put it down. I close my right eye and read with the left one..\n\nSo far (hopefully !) my eye sight is very good, never had brain tumours, no lazy eye, don't wear glasses nor contact lenses and my two pupils are straight.\n\nHave always had this habit and had my eyes tested.....oh god can't remember !:-(..but at the time there was nothing wrong and I think my sight is still fine...\n\nI'm not saying that you should not consult a specialist..am just trying to make you worry less meanwhile.....OK !:-). Good luck !

it is likely that you are becoming more long sighted , indoors where you dont have to see very far this wouldnt notice too much, outside you need to focus on things further away. definitely get a eye test, you may need bifocals, or a different prescription for driving

Lazy eye, or amblyopia, is an eye condition in which disuse causes reduced vision in an otherwise healthy eye. The affected eye is called the lazy eye. The impairment of vision in the lazy eye occurs in three phases. In the first (suspension) phase, the brain turns the weaker eye on and off. In the second (suppression) phase, the brain turns off the lazy eye indefinitely. At this point, the eye still has usable vision and can function well if the other eye is covered. In the last (amblyopia) phase, which occurs after age seven, the eye loses all the sensitivity that is essential for good vision because it has not been used for so long. Lazy eye is a visual problem with potentially serious consequences. If left untreated, the affected child may have permanent loss of vision in the lazy eye. Because of loss of vision in one eye, these children cannot see threedimensional images very well—all images appear flat. They also have problems with depth perception. This has serious consequences in their future ability to work in professions that require good vision in both eyes. Affected children also have increased risk of blindness should something happen to the good eye.\nThe following are probable causes of lazy eye:\n• Strabismus, or misalignment of a child’s eyes (crossed eyes). This is the most frequent cause of lazy eye. Approximately half of all children with crossed eyes will develop a lazy eye. In children with crossed eyes, the images do not coordinate, thus confusing the brain. Therefore, the brain will suppress the image that comes from one eye and predominantly use the image from the stronger eye.\n• Anisometropia (unequal refractive power). In this case, there is difference in image quality between the two eyes because one eye is severely nearsighted or farsighted. In other words, one eye focuses better than the other. The brain will mostly use the clearer image from the good eye. The other eye will become underdeveloped due to neglect.\n• Congenital cataract. The lazy eye can not see well because its lens is already cloudy at birth.\n• Ptosis (drooping eyelid). Vision in the lazy eye is blocked or impaired by the drooping eyelid.\n• Corneal scarring. The image quality of the affected eye is poor due to scarring in the cornea.\nThe following are risk factors for amblyopia:\n• rubella (German measles) or other infections in the mother during pregnancy\n• premature birth\n• other family members with vision problems in childhood Lazy eye may not present obvious symptoms. For this reason, it is important for small children to have regular eye examinations.

It's probably just that you need more time to get used to them.  I have blended "omnifocals," and I spent about the first week playing the game I call "find the focus."  You roll your head up and down (looking like an idiot if anyone's watching), finding the best focus you can get for a given viewing situation.  You may find, for example, that at times you have to hold your head up in what looks like a snobbish way, or roll it down as if you were being shy.  \n\nIf you don't adjust after a week or so, you might ask the guy who fitted the frames to your face whether they need adjusting.

Are you lazy?\nLook here:

It sounds like you may need glasses.  Make an appointment with your eye doctor and he/she will be able to tell you exactly what you need.

It sounds as if the muscles are noit working properly.  See a doctor and ask for a referral to an eye surgeon...;

you need to go to a doctor.  double vision could be a bad symptom of something.

There are actually 2 ways to see Magic Eye pictures (also called random dot stereograms).  One way is with your eyes crossed and the other is with them uncrossed, but I don't remember which way gives you which image.  It's usually easier for people to do it one way over the other.  And then there's people like me who have to work really hard to do either.

I thought everyone saw those thingies!!  Are they unusual cause I've seen them all my life? It's like, you see them out of the corner of your eye but when you try to focus on them, they move away.\n\nSeriously, I thought it was normal!  I have 20/20 vision, BTW.
