Surgery: I'm sorry this was neglected when you were a kid. This is a major professional liability in today's world and whether or not it might improve your vision, you should have cosmetic surgery for it.

Esotropia: Some people have a tendency for their eyes to cross which they resist with active eye muscle control (esophoria). If the crossing beccomes constant it is called esotropia. Depending on what age the problem began and what the underlying prescription for glasses is in each eye the problem can either be addressed with glasses, prisms, or surgery. See a strabismus specialist.

For adults, surgery: For children under 10, glasses are the first step. For adults, strabismus surgery is usually the only approach and this may not be for everyone. Glasses can sometimes help adults as well.

Surgery: A few can be managed with special glasses, but I'm going to assume this is common congenital strabismus. Cosmetic surgery is available and is routine. You should get it, as the condition is a serious social and professional liability.
