Alex was maybe 5 when diagnosed with Strabismus. He ended up with glasses 
but that didn't correct it.

He also has minimal depth perception. By the time we knew he had that Alex 
was already compensating for it.

In the past 4 or so years we've noticed the wandering increasing. He can be 
looking at you and have each eye in a different direction.
At the eye exam a year ago Alex's vision was fine and the Dr said that they 
could fix it with surgery if we wanted. Since his vision is ok we've opted 
to not do that.

The wandering of the eyes is DEFINITELY worse when Alex is tired or sick, 
which is apparently normal with strabismus.
