Lazy eye or what? What should I do?!


Question:

Lazy eye or what? What should I do?

Well, my left eye is fine but I don't have 'perfect' vision. I wear glasses.

However, my right eye is kinda weird... it's the same as my left vision-wise but sometimes when I lose focus, or when i'm really really tired it kind of drifts a different way, like... if I'm trying to read something when I'm tired, or when I just wake up my right eye starts moving to the right a bit and I get double vision. It's been like this for like 3 years. I know it moves to the right because I look at myself in the mirror and purposely lose focus and then my right eye starts moving right a bit while my left one stays the same.

What is wrong with me? I don't consider this a serious problem, but I plan to start webcamming with my friends soon and I don't want to look like a retard when I do it. So... what is wrong with my right eye? Will I need surgery? Is surgery required or just recommended? I do not want to have surgery on my eye... that sounds painful

Answers:

In addition to the answer above, I think there are exercises you can do also. But you need to see an eye doctor also; so they can recommend what is best for your specific situation.

Addition: I just thought of those computer generated posters that appear to be in 3D when you relax your eyes. The effect is produced by the depth of our focus being on the surface of the posters, but your eyes not being aimed at the same point. It takes practice in manipulating the muscles of your eyes to get them to do this. But, it makes me think that the muscles that point your eye can be forced to do something they don't want to naturally do.

Also, by you're other questions I see that you play video games. Don't it for too long at one time. It's bad for your eyes. When you are watching TV, reading, using a computer, or playing video games, give your eyes a break and focus on something closer and something farther every so often.
