I have a strange problem, when i look something straight, my left eye focus always goes towards left. For example, if i work on my laptop, i try to look at the screen but my left eye forces me to look at the objects towards left as a result i get headache. can someone help to identify what problem i have and which doctor should i consult

    You could see an optician to start with they may refer you to a eye specialist at hospital. Good luck.

    Hi, vish- you may want to ask an ophthalmologist about Amblyopia - it's a laziness of one eye wondering to one side or the other when you are attempting to focus. It's an interference/misalignment of the eye and brain working together.  I have had this since I was a kid after being in an accident, and it has been (at least for me) sheer willpower to force my eye back into focus, thus "training" my brain to work with the eye.  I rarely have the problem now but I still have to force/focus once in a while to not allow it to wonder.

    I think there may be a surgical procedure to correct it, but you best ask an eye specialist. If not treated, it can bring on severe headaches.  You may want to check out this wiki link showing eye exercises - they have helped me:

    Let us know what you find out.  Best wishes!
