Therapy low vision: The head turn is expected around your age. It is the natural compensation for this visual field deficit on one side. There are specialist in low vision rehab that can help with compensation stratagies and head position. If you are losing binocular vision, depth perception, then you should look into surgical options from an ophthomologist that treats this genetic condition.

Yes: The head turn can be corrected in some cases by adding prism to your glasses. In other cases, surgery is needed. See a pediatric ophthalmologist, even if you are an adult.
