People with "a turn" in their eye...

Apologies to anybody with the afforementiond affliction.. but..

Whats the story with it? (lazy eye?)? .. i ended up being stuck chattin to a very drunk lad at the bar this evenin who happened to have a turn in his eye..

is there a name for this affliction?
Anyway, no matter how hard i tried i couldnt figure out which eye was the good one, i didnt know which one to be looking at so i spent most of the ime concentrating on his chin..

is there not a simple medical procedure to correct this? this lad was in his forties... if it was me i would have been gettin that thing sorted or my family would have been getting it fixed for me when i was a kid...

so any boardsies with a lazy eye?? is it sore all the time? do ye get headaches? which eye is the good one...

no offence meant but im strangely intrigued by it..

(edit to add.. i just remembered some line in "philadephia here i come" where they were referencing this affliction)!
(edit it was ned talking abount annie mcfadden having a squint in her eye i think)!

My left eye was awful lazy when I were a kid.

I wore glasses for 8 years and wore a manky brown patch like a yellow pack pirate.

No problems now.:)

It's called amblyopia.

Don't have it, but I've got terrible eyesight.. never wear my glasses out though

I just want to know which way they actually are looking. Freaks me out.

Do they have a blind spot in the middle?

I believe that particular eye was more "glass" than "lazy"

Well I doubt it did much excercise either

This happened to me in McDonald's a few years ago. I was ordering food and this female behind the counter had the affliction. I didn't quite catch on that she had it. So when she asked me for my food it looked like she wasn't looking at me. I got confused and...looked behind to make sure she was talking to me and there was nobody else around. Worst of all, I pointed at myself and asked "me?". Then it just snapped in my mind and I swear I went as red as strawberry. She gave me food and asked for the money, and seriously I thought she was talking to someone else! So I looked behind me again, realised, handed over the money without saying anything and walked off. Shameful, and a lesson what not to do to anyone when you run into someone like this (unless you have the intention of being an asshole).

I'm taking a liquid protein tonic. It seems to be doing the trick.:)

While the question is genuine, and I have no answer to your connundrum.. how you put things cracks me the fcuk up. I'd kill for a pint or 10 with you :pac:

I can do that with my eyes. Hadn't done it in years, just did it now, very painful.
