Ain’t no thing. I’ve had this my entire life - if I’m not used to it by now, I’ve got bigger problems than just a little old lazy eye. I’ll even tell people when they look over _their_ shoulder ('cause my eye doesn’t wander much, just enough to make me look a bit distracted at times) “Just look at my right eye - that left one has been doing it’s own thing for years now.”
