What eye ailment do I acquire? Is this serious?

Hi! I am a 19 year old college student from the Philippines. Hope you can help me! Thank you and God bless.

Recently i notice that my eyes aren't aligned, with my right eye always turned in just about to my nose. I also feel that my eyes aren't aligned whenever i talk to people and sometimes when i read or look at a certain thing, my eyes move side to side very rapidly for a split second. I am thinking of seeing an eye doctor, but if you already know what this is, please inform me. Thanks a lot! I know this site helps.

The problem is called "strabismus" (squint) and it unusual to suddenly start at age 19. You need to see an eye MD ophthalmologist very soon.
