Developing Lazy Eye at 24?

So after a little research about people telling me I have a lazy eye over the weekend, I'm finding out now that people have seen this for 2 weeks, but didn't mention it in case it was an old thing they just never saw before.
I've already been told NOT to attempt some of the widely known lazy eye treatments, becasue if it's not specifically lazy eye (amblyopia) then I could end up forcing lazy eye to start developing as well.
So far I haven't noticed the blurryness very much since I sit behind a few monitors all day, and it's been single distance focus for the most part.
While I carry on and wait to get this checked out properly, anyone have any experience with adult generation of such eye problems? Anyone who's seen me, did you notice my right eye just doing it's own thing bouncing around, while I didn't notice.(which may explain the really odd faces people have given me as well.) |

I suppose it's an option.. This is something that's just there 24/7 and I'd probably blame the last 6-7 years of spending 9 hrs at a desk with 3-5 monitors every day.
I've been looking for an optometrist, but little time while @ work; I did manage to talk to the docotr down the street @ lunch though. End result = see an optometrist. |

I'd say less (if you're using any at all) would probably correct it.
The eye is full of sensitive muscles, too much of anything and they are some of the first (noticible muscles) ones to be effected.
Let us know how it goes after going to see an opthamologist (not optomestrist). |

I'm not really looking for a trigger of it, there's always been very slight signs of it for years, so it's normal for it to turn into a regular thing.
I'm more curious about some of the things that go along with it, like after the treatments (sometimes an eye patch, or eye exercises) will it continue to come back?
I'm being curious since most places ere closed today and I have to wait before I can see someone.
P.S. I've been working pretty much every weekday fulltime, or doing the x-mas thing with family(that's seen it happen before and knows it's always gone away after a day or so of on-and-off occurances). |

Me personally never had eye problems until started going to guv. In the earlier years (98-99), i use to stand right in the path of the lasers and make sure they hit my eyes. It felt amazing when i was .....
Because of you jay i need glasses. ;) |

Drugs/exhaustion/computer sitting are all possibilities for you noticing your "lazy eye." I developed TWO lazy eyes before I was 5 and had surgeries to correct both. Neither eye was really fixed 100% and I do notice my eyes feeling weak whenever I am partying or tired or sitting at a PC for extended periods of time.
If you are not bothered by it when you are feeling "normal" I wouldn't worry about it. |

as an aside, eye wiggles are NOT lazy eyes.
A lazy eye is when one eye drifts off to the outside, and the vision of that eye is no longer aligned with the other, resulting in a double image.
Eye wiggles are often experienced by people using E and it's just a spasm of the eye muscle (which can happen while sober, as well) |

What I've been told is that one eye; my right, will be pointing down to the left (towards my nose). If I start changing where I'm looking by eyes only, my right eye will then start moving in the general directions it should. |

| One more thing... This was expected to happen, as I already had untreated spurts of lazy eye since I was younger. The reason it was left is becasue it never stayed around for more than a few hours. |
