No one eye is always going to be straight.

what if vision in both eyes is the same and one eye turns in and both eyes are operated on to straighten them a bit would that eye eventualy turn out also?

A blind eye is like a boat without a rudder. It won't stay on course. In an adult it usually drifts OUT over a period of years.
