What’s It Feel Like to Have Strabismus?

I have strabismus, and my eyes are lazy in different directions (left eye rolls up, right eye rolls in). I've spent some time figuring out the angles and distances that make my “laziness” less obvious to the unsuspecting observer, but it's still noticeable after a little while. I also have no depth perception or 3-D vision because I only use one eye at a time.

I am comically bad at sports that involve hand-eye coordination. I can't catch, I can't pass, and I certainly can't hit a baseball with a bat. Sometimes I even miss the ball in kickball. The harder I try, the more likely I am to inadvertently sabotage my team. I've grown to think it's kind of neat to be really, truly horrendous…

American Optometric Association

Proper eye alignment is important to avoid seeing double, for good depth perception, and to prevent the development of poor vision in the turned eye. When the eyes are misaligned, the brain receives two different images. At first, this may create double vision and confusion. But over time the brain will learn to ignore the image from the turned eye. Untreated eye turning can lead to permanently reduced vision in one eye. This condition is called amblyopia or lazy eye.
