strabismus: Is best evaluated by a pediatric ophthalmologist, who can determine whether glasses with prism is needed or if you are a surgical candidate.

Yes and NO: At your age lazy eye is not treatable adequately. But crossing of the eyes may be corrected by muscle surgery. However if you see double you may not have that severe amblyopia and straightening your eyes may actually increase your double vision time. See a strabismus ophthalmologist.
