Cross-eyed, double vision, what's the difference between the two?!


Question:
I've been having a vision problem lately, particuarly when tired, where my eyes don't want to fix on an object and it's like a split screen, only one image is below and to the right of the other image as it appears to my sight. I don't know what I'm experiencing or why. Any opthomolgists or optometrists out there willing to do a free consult? Anyone else have an idea?
Answers:
Double vision can result from being cross-eyed, but it has other causes as well. Usually if you're cross-eyed, you'll see double. There are many things that can cause this (some serious, some not) and you really need to have a complete eye exam performed in order for your doctor to figure out the problem and the best solution.

Hi There,

Cross eyed is when your eyes are turned inward, double vision is very different. A good source is :

Definitely see an opthamologist or optician.
