A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rarely at birth: "Lazy eye" is the term for an eye which sees less well in infancy which will commonly turn out or in. This is accompanied by a reflex called suppression which prevents doubling of the vision. You may have had this when younger and now it is showing up again. Check with your mirror to see if the eyes are aligned. If not, see a pediatric ophthalmologist for evaluation.
