when i look to the right......

[sk8rs_s0uL]

well when i look to the right, my right eye blinks only either before my left does or my left doesn't even blink. I have been wearing glasses since i was young around 7 and have never really seen a problem as this but i have and still do have a lazy right eye. Now i am wearing contacts and it has been less than a year since ive gotten them. I actually only noticed this problem not to long ago when a friend told me about it.

What can i do about this!!????

You need to see a Strabismus/Pediatric Ophthalmologist physician.  You may have Duane's Syndrome as a cause of your problem. Or you could have misdirection of the nerves that blink the eye or you could be a "jaw-winker".  Only an examination by this type of Eye MD physician can tell for sure.

This is also extremely important as most of these conditions are hereditary and there is perhaps as high as a 20% chance that your children or your nieces/nephews may have similiar problems.

Hello sk8r_soul   There are no unicorns and there are no "ophtometrists". If you see an "optometrist" you are seeing a non-physician, limited eye care provider that does not have a medical degree. You need to see an "ophthalmologist" a MD eye physician with a doctor of medicine degree. Only the Eye MD has the training and skill to deal with problems like yours. It ends up being more expensive to see the optometrist as they have to send complicated, medical problems to the Eye MD.
