You do not have a lazy eye. Amblyopia is often referred to as lazy eye which is a condition where the brain fails to communicate with the eyes causing double and/or low vision. What you think you have is strabismus, crossed or misaligned eyes. You don't have strabisumus either. Strabismus is found at birth or in early childhood. You might have eye trauma, if you actually hit your head hard enough, but you'd have a really big bump and be in a lot of pain. If you are truly concerned that you have injured your eye, make an appointment with an eye specialist to get your eyes examined. If your under 18, ask your parents to make the appointment for you. Hope your eye gets better soon.

Everyone should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam every few years. Most of us don't see an Ophthalmologist or Optometrist until we have a real problem, which might have been prevented or minimized if we had regular exams.
