A member asked:

One of my son's eyes crosses sometimes why? and should i be concerned?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Normal: It is common for one eye to "wander" or cross a bit when a child is tired or just waking up. Have a checkup done just to make sure that the crossed eye isn't a sign of something more serious.
