Pseudostrabismus: You may have something called " pseudostrabismus". This is caused by the physical structure, shape and folds of your eyes and nose which give a false appearance of a lazy eye. A totally harmelss condition.

Depends: If someone has an eye turn in one eye, it can be few things: pseudostrabismus where it looks like an eye turn but isn't. It can also be a real eye turn. Sometimes people can actually have an eye turn, but because the vision is equal they still see the same. The problem is that on that case, the brain uses only one eye at a time instead of both. An eye doc can tell the difference by testing 3d visn.
