My son has that. It is called Strabisimus or 'crossed eyes'. Also called lazy eye. He has had 2 surgeries to correct it and has had to wear patches on each eye, one at a time for 30 min intervals. It helps to strenghthen the eyes so they work more independently and also more together. You might want to check with your doctor in case it might worsen. If we didnt get my son's eyes corrected now, he might have serious condition as he gets older. Good luck to you.

Sounds like you might have Strabismus or "Lazy Eye".
Have you had your vision checked in the past or even recently?
Uncorrected Strabismus can cause the "roaming" eye to lose vision.
Whereas both eyes are suppose to work together when they don't,the brain tends to turn off the "offending" eye vision.
Strabismus is usually corrected during childhood to prevent the loss of vision. This is done with patching the stronger eye causing the "lazy eye" to work better,if that fails then glasses are usually used to correct the "lazy eye",sometimes atropine drops are used in the stronger eye to dilate that eye and make the weaker eye work harder. When all else fails,surgery to correct the "lazy eye" by shortening the muscle in the weaker eye so to straighten it.
See an Ophthalmologist as they are the ones who can do all of the above.

It's sort of like being Cross-eyed, it's called Wandering Eye. There IS surgery for it.
Edit: Dont listen to these other guys. I know what i'm talking about.
