Eye splitting
I have a strange thing with my eyes. You know how people can cross their eyes, and how both pupils look down and in? I can do that, but I can also do the exact opposite. My eyes go up and they look out in opposite directions. Granted, it's very hard to notice unless you're looking closely, but it does double my vision.
Is there a specific name for this? Should I be concerned? I've known about this for my entire life, BTW, it's not something new.

Hey,
I know what you mean by "cross eyed" and I have found on the internet what you are talking about. It is called strabismus. It causes your eyes to go outward, inward, downward, or upward. It is a commonly genetic thing and is completely normal in most cases. According to what I have read, you should maybe get it checked out by an eye doctor if it worsens, for you say you have double vision (diplopia). I say 'maybe', for you can 'control' how you turn your eyes and this could just be how you were born (amazing ability to make your eyes wonky :p). Perhaps the more you do it, the more strain too, which could be causing the double vision. There are treatments if it ever becomes a problem.
My personal thoughts are: you've had it your whole life and it must not have affected your sight greatly or you would of had it checked out by now. If its not harming anything, I'd consider it a gift! :p
