Q: Is This Normal??

Hi there

i have noticed over the years that when I move my head slowly to the left or right while focusing both eyes on a stationary object from any distance, I begin to see two instances of that object and that it is more pronounced and to a greater degree when I turn my head to the left than when I turn my head to the right. If I look straight on at the stationary object or even turn my head slightly (again, while maintaining my focus on it), I only see a single instance of it.

Perhaps this is normal and I just never noticed it. I do have a condition called "lazy eye" in which my left eye just sort of drifts to the left but i'm not sure if this is the cause.

Also, I see fuzzy, overlapping images when I use my left eye while keeping my right one closed.

Could anyone here try this and see if you get the same results? (i'm talking about moving your head slowly to the left or right while focusing both eyes on a stationary object from any distance and seeing if you begin to see two instances of that object). It would be very reassuring to me to know that I am not alone and that this is normal. I've been obsessing over this for almost two years now.

- thank you, tinybubbles
