Help! I think I am squinting!
Hello,
for about a year and a half now, I have had a problem with my eyes, specifically with strabismus. I do not see double, but when I look at photos of myself and compare them to old photos, I find that my eyes look somehow different and slightly cross-eyed. This is quite possible, as I have a significant difference in vision (one eye is farsighted, the other nearsighted).
I have already been to the eye doctor three times and each time they measured whether I actually have strabismus. Every time I was told that I do NOT have strabismus. My impressions in the pictures come from the fact that I am not looking straight ahead, but to the side at the camera, causing one eye to naturally point slightly more inward than the other. My last visit was just 2 months ago. Once again, I was told that I may have a slight micro-strabismus at most, but nothing else. My concerns are unfounded.
Yesterday, I took a few more photos and was quite shocked, because I still believe that I have strabismus. And in these pictures I am even looking directly at the camera, not to the side.
Therefore, I have attached a few photos for you to maybe check.
In the first photo, I am not looking at the camera, but at a point on the wall. Here, I do not think I have strabismus yet.
In the second photo, I am looking directly at the small camera lens, and I believe I am already strabismic.
And in the third photo, I have gotten very close to the camera and am looking with both eyes at the lens. Here, it is extreme. However, my mother claims that it is completely normal to have strabismus when looking at something so close. Just like how one may have strabismus when looking at a finger held in front of the eyes.
What do you think? Is it normal to have slight strabismus when getting so close to the camera? Or should I actually be worried that I am starting to have real strabismus? Should I go to the doctor again?
