A member asked:

My left eye deviates laterally when i look at far distances and when i'm stressed. but also when i look straight at a person. ?

Exotropia: This is probably something you've had that is now decomompensating. If it's occasional it might not require any treatment but if might be helped by glasses or exercises. In severe cases surgery may be appropriate.
