response to dr

No, I dont see double when looking with both eyes. I simply cannot look with both eyes at one time. I switch back and forth although I do have a dominant eye. There is a long name for this eye disorder. I was just needing the name of it.
thank you

I have the same exact condition, I cannot look at a specific point with both eyes but can use both eyes just fine without double vision, and can also alternate between my eyes. I have done vision therapy which only made me notice the problem more. I have not been able to find a clean answer for my condition and am considering surgery.

If the eyes are misaligned outward its called a exotropia  if the eyes are misaligned inward its call esotropia  up or down is hyper- or hypo- tropia

Generic eye misalignment problems are called strabismus
