A member asked:

Why is my eye turning out if i try to go cross-eyed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sure: Some people have accomodative insufficiency and have a hard time converging their eyes, so the eyes go back to parallel, but i can't say why they would actually turn out- unless your eyes normally have a tendency to do that.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
