I think being abused caused me to become cross-eyed. I didn't used to be cross-eyed, but now I am. Does being abused cause you to be cross-eyed?

no being abused does not cause cross eyed. crossed eyes is a physical health problem with the eye muscles. the treatment for crossed eyes is a vision test and eye glasses that have the right corrective lenses in them so that your eyes dont need to cross in order to see.

contact an eye doctor and they can test you to see if you need glasses.

I had my vision tested and there is nothing wrong with my vision.

then you can rest assured you dont have a problem with crossed eyes... sometimes when i am tired or the kinds of medications i am on or when I am having psychosis (hallucinations\delusions) because my meds are off or I skipped a dose my head can tell me things like my eyes are crossed when in reality they are not, its just the meds or psychosis symptoms related to my bipolar disorder or even one of my MS symptoms.

suggestion use reality testing when ever this happens...go to the doctor that did the vision test that said you are not cross eyed/nothing wrong with your vision. have them print off a copy of the test results. this way when ever this is happening to you, you can look at the paper and see that in reality everything is ok, you are not cross eyed. you may ....feel.... like you are cross eyed but the vision test says you are fine.

then if that doesnt work contact your treatment providers they can adjust your schizophrenia medications so that you wont have this problem any more. they can also help you to find ways to help your self when your mind is telling you , you are cross eyed when your vision test says you are not.(when a vision test says nothing is wrong that means you do not have any cross eyed or any other eye problems)
