ELi5: Why does only one of my eyes cross?

746 views

When I attempt to purposely cross my eyes, one of my eyes refuses to get anywhere near crossing while the other one does it just fine, I see double so I know I’m still getting some input from it. Google says it could be my brain choosing one eye over the other, but why do I have this problem everytime I try?

I used to have Ambliopy when I was a kid, and even though I don’t have it anymore, I can’t cross both of my eyes too, because my “lazy eye” is still lazy and refuse to cross.

If that’s the case for you, you should look at how often do you use each one of your eyes and if you see better with one than with another (that’s all the symptoms). Check also if both of your eyes moves well when you look around
