No great reason why not.
Having strabismus only means the two eyes don't align.
Usually, but not always, that will mean *one* eye has poor vision, but the other is as likely to have good vision (or just to need glasses) as anyone else's

Some people have a strabismus and good vision in both eyes. A minority of those have constant double vision, but most simply use one eye or the other alternately.

I have strabismus and I can stare at cockroaches and know they are cockroaches. I would just prefer to stare at something else.

Strabismus does not always manifest itself as crossed eyes. In my case my eye do not work well together. I have some mild depth perception issues and double vision (ghost image) occasionally when I really tired. It is hard to explain that one.

As Pedestal indicated some people also have one eye that is better than the other. My right eye is normal and my left eye has 1.5 diopters of astigmatism. I usually wear one contact lens and occasionally wear my glasses.
