A member asked:

Why are my eyes crossing more, if i'm already an adult?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eyes crossing: "crossing more" means that your eyes were already crossing. It is not uncommon to have a "deterioration" of an existing deviation. Some reasons for this include increased visual demand, an illness, a significant change in a glasses prescription. And many others.
