Evaluation.: If this is relatively new it could be a visual problem or a neurologic issue. If this is a chronic condition it might not be due to vision. I suggest that you start by letting your family doctor know & getting your eyes checked. If vision isn't the issue than a more comprehensive assessment should be done. Take care.
