Are you cross-eyed?

If so, can you concentrate on separate items at the same time?

I was until I got kicked by a donkey.

The owner of a convenience store near me was extremely cross eyed. I swear he was looking of 45 degrees from whatever he was looking at. He claimed he could see just okay.

I had a middle school teacher (no pics) who had a lazy eye. We never knew who or what she was looking at most of the time or which eye to look at. Freaked me out as a kid.

Are you cock-eyed?

If you have never looked in the mirror, how would you know if you were cross-eyed. There are primitive people that have no idea that they are cross-eyed because all of them are cross-eyed and they have never had someone from the outside world tell them this. It really is a fascinating dynamic of humans and shite.

Went to a party one night. Started doing shots with a few people. Old Vietnamese guy was hammering them back. After a couple his one eye started turning in towards his nose. Before the night was over all you could see was the white of his eyeball. fricking awesome.

I’ll bite.
I have strabismus. But I wear glasses to correct it. Been wearing glasses due to it since I was 6 or 7. You can tell here and there when I have my glasses on but nothing extreme. Without my glasses, my eye will get really tired very quickly and then it’ll cross pretty hard inward to my nose. Definitely tell without my glasses on.
Not sure how to explain it. Same concept as everyone else using their dominant eye. Over the years, my brain has gotten used to seeing duplicate and 80% of the time, I don’t even notice the second image that I’m supposed to be concentrating on. So no, your brain really doesn’t let you concentrate on the second image at the same time.
I see people that are cross eyed not wearing glasses and for the life of me can’t understand why they don’t have glasses or SOMETHING. Even I can’t look them straight in the eye . Figuratively and literally.

I have a relative with alternating outward strabismus. Depending on which eye he is using to look out of, the other one points outward. One of them is more obvious than the other. The way he explained it to me, one eye is dominant for close up stuff and the other is dominant for far away stuff. He has to "switch" them depending on what he needs to focus on.
Because they point outward, he doesn't have double-vision. He also doesn't have the same depth of vision that you get when both eyes work in tandem.
He had surgery later in life to try to correct but after a while, the muscles loosened again and they are almost to the way they were before the surgery.
He's been to a few eye docs and they all agree that his situation doesn't lend itself to being corrected with glasses so he just has to deal with it.

One of my oilfield drillers had one eye that looked off to one side. I finally asked him which eye I looked at when I talked to him. 
He paused for a few seconds making me think I just started a fight. He finally laughed and said which ever one is looking at you.

I had a supervisor that was really cross eyed. He had the most beautiful wife. No one understood why she was with him. I called him flounder behind his back. Every now and then I would tell him look at me when you are talking to me. Shocked I wasn't fired.

My best days and work memories are from working in the patch.
