Why do my eye turn out after some drinks?

[mrhoang]

I realize the after i have a few alcohol drinks, my eye turns out.  But when i look into a mirror, my eyes look normal straight.  Why is that???

[Michael J Kutryb, MD]

The alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and weakens your ability to fuse and convearge the eyes.  Whe you look at yourself, you apparently try harder to get the eyes straight and the eye comes back in a little.

If the surgery is successful, your eyes will not turn out after you drink.  Getting glasses with prism might also prevent your eyes from turning.

I know because i was told by friends.  

Is there any medicine i can take to make my eyes to try harder?  Just for my information, if i hav surgery done to my eye or eyes, will my eyes still turn out after a few drinks or is it just better to not drink?

How do you know your eye turns out without looking in the mirror in the first place?
