Eye Crossing

One morning last October I woke up and was seeing slightly blurry. That lasted for about 2 weeks and went away. A month later I started seeing double and my left eye was crossing. I went to the hospital and they took did a vision test and ran a Cat Scan. Both came out fine and I was told to see an opthamologist. My symptoms went away and come back now and again. Two weeks ago I saw the opthamologist who prescribed prism lenses for me. Although they did help at first, my eye started crossing again last night and the lenses don't seem to aid me at all. FYI, I don't have headaches at all. Can someone tell me what the problem might be?

I had eye surgery when I was much younger because I have a "Lazy eye" When I get tired or when I try to focus my lazy eye turns in trying to focus.  I don't see double or blurred vision.  Good luck

Most episodes of eye crossing are benign and within normal limits, especially when young and looking closely at something.

A formal neuro-ophtho exma should be done though to exlucde other causes such as demeylinating disease - which could potentially cause eye movement abnormalities.
