Neither eye keeps consistent connection, but he can see.

The best way to make someone comfortable (lazy eye or not) when talking to you is to focus at the "social zone" of the face. The social zone is like a small "T" - with the area between the two eyes as the centre. Do not stare at this zone when talking - soften your gaze so it will not look as though you are either angry or trying to hint that there's something stuck on his nose! For a lazy eyed person, we may tend to try to grab which eye - but do treat as though he is normal. When done well, the person will be more comfortable talking longer with you as he does not feel like he's being "seized" up by your glare. Hope this communication tip help.

If someone only has one "wonky" eye, look at the one looking toward you. If both are messed up, you look at them just as you would if both were straight. It is hard to know where to look when someone has eyes that aren't straightly aligned, but as hard as it is for others to know where to look, it is far more respectful to not ask about where to look. Someone with eyes like that knows that is something people pick up on - and treat them differently because of. If you don't ask where to look or any other questions, people with eyes like that will know you see more than their problem, and you see them as a person. However, in the situation of a friend, just follow their cues. If it's something she seems OK with, ask; just very delicate.

Try to look at the eye that is looking at you, normally this will help the other person feel a little better. When someone has a lazy eye, they usualy focus with one eye, so that is what I do. And try not to think too much about it. If it makes you too uncomfortable, then look at the person's forhead, right between the eyes, or at their eyelids.

A lazy eye does not mean it doesn't work. Put the extra effort forth to look at both normally.
Yes, it can be challenging in severe cases, but isn't it worth a little effort to make the other person feel not so..... "not-normal"?

I tend to make the mistake of trying to get in front of the eye facing away. It normally ends up looking like a game of make the guy dizzy. And if both eyes are looking away....
....I dunno it's complicated. I tend to avoid people with lazy eye, simply because I'd rather not make myself look rude or stupid, by offending them. They can't help it, after all. They don't need me unintentionally making them self-conscious.

Look at their nose! Then you will look like your making eye contact without really making eye contact.

If neither eye looks like it is directly looking at you, try looking at his eyebrows instead. Or pick one and go with that.

Neither. Look at the bridge of their nose. They won't be able to tell the difference.

I would look at the eye that can see... this is probably the one that's looking at you.

Look at the eye that is looking at you, or simply avoid the problem by looking at his nose.
