I have what is "commonly" known as a lazy eye, incidentally, on the left side. How wierd that you mention this. :?

I've always ascribed this to a time when I missed catching the ball in little league, with it ending up hitting my face. I've recently come to doubt this conclusion, as even huge trauma to the eye region doesn't normally bring about a "lazy eye," and I can't even remember which side I was hit on in the first place. Not to mention in the past my own fabricated "explanation" for an oddity was lacking in any actual explaining-the bump on my left knee I always thought came about from smacking my knee on a chair actually turned out to be something called Osgood Schlater's, or something or other....

My eyes are ok though I have an odd intense stare. When I went to an aspie group I remember 2 people in the group having the one eye out of position thing.

I have normally positioned eyes, but only because I got my right eye corrected with surgery in 6th Grade. Throughout my childhood, it was very crooked and went all the way out. Like an extreme lazy eye.

My eyes don't have a position problem, but I have significant astigmatism, and the left eye always
gets worse at a faster rate then the right one.
