Question: Can you get a lazy eye from crossing your eyes weird!?
So my friend is sitting here and wondering if you can get a lazy eye from crossing your eyes weird!. What she does is (its kinda like a habit now) so keep one eye in place and to just randomly move the other!. Like, as a joke (haha)!. And she is really concerned that maybe this habit would maybe result in having her eye become!.!.!.lazy!? Some people in her class at school one day were talking to her and pointed out that "Oh hey! Your right eye is movinggg!!" and she is realllyyyy wondering if this is possible!.
Please help!?!?

Answers:
No!.
A lazy eye, which is emphatically NOT strabismus even though the two things often occur in the same pair of eyes, cannot be induced that way!.
It's down to lack of neural development, which itself results from the brain being unable to use the two eyes' images simultaneously!.
By teenage years, it's generally too late to get a lazy eye anyway!. It may still be possible to get rid of one: the traditional cut-off age limit has recently been shown to be pessimistic!.

lazy eye is also called strabismus; you don't get it from doing weird eye movements voluntarily because it results generally from neruologic disorders, for instance, if you had a stroke, or if you had a vehicular accident and had a head injury!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
