mybat, I had a very severely wandering left eye when I was a youngster. In elementary school, I wore an occluder, a patch on the inside of my glasses, to block my use of the steadier eye.
I was supposed to have an operation to correct it, but my mother got a second opinion from another opthalmologist and he said to wait, since there wasit may correct itself as I grew into adulthood.
Indeed, he was right, and an operation was avoided. Once I became an adult, most of the problem went away. Now, when I am very tired, or look at myself in mirrors, my left eye will wander outward, but that’s merely a mild annoyance and a fascinating trick to show others, and not a problem.
