Cross eyed and lazy eye there samething right?

Question

they are right? or i think lazy eye is you turn your head to look around instead of your eyes and i think your born with cross eyes?

Answer 1

are you serious,  you think a lazy eye is when your head turns to look around instead of your eye ?  google  amblyopia,

Answer 2

If someone is "cross eyed" they are considered to be esotropic (strabismus in which eye(s) turn inward).  After time, the eye that is turned inward will become underused and there will be a decrease in vision associated with that eye.  This phenomena is called amblyopia, or "lazy eye."

Answer 3

I think you can see from the answers you are getting that there really isn't a clear definition of either term.  They mean different things to different people.  Some people think that if an eye is turned, it's lazy.  Others only consider it lazy if the vision in that eye is compromised.

Amblyopia (reduced visual acuity because of poor transmission of information) can be a result of an eye turn or can be caused by other factors, like unequal refractive errors.  Eye care professionals even disagree on what this term means.

The terms that most doctors I know use include strabismus, tropia, and amblyopia.  I think they try to avoid terms like "lazy eye," "cross-eyed," and even "eye turn," because they are not specific and can carry different meanings depending on whom you ask.

Answer 4

"Cross-eyed" and "lazy eye" are both terms for strabismus, which is a misalignment of the eyes.  It can take many forms, and can present at different ages for different reasons.

Answer 5

Nope!

"Crossed eye" is a term for strabismus. That is where the muscles in your eyes aren't aligned properly.

"Lazy eye" refers to amblyopia. That is where the brain starts to ignore one eye, making the vision in that eye worse. That person would mainly see out of one eye.

Both conditions involve one eye that looks "lazy" or "crossed" , but for different reasons. Strabismus can, and often does, lead to amblyopia in the crossed eye though.
