Does reading while sleeping or liying back, causes crossed eyes? what does?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are multiple causes of crosses eyes or "strabismus". Reading itself does not cause strabismus but may manifest it in a patient with accommodative esotropia. All cases of strabismus should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist

I've gotten weird headaches for several years(5 or 6?). My eyes start to hurt & my vision blurs. They hurt & burn until they start fighting to close. Sleep helps correct it. I wear reading glasses & my RX hasn't changed. What's wrong with my eyes?
