I've been dating this guy for a few days and we are doing very well. Today we had breakfast together for the 1st time at a dinner. Half way through our meal I looked up at him as he was telling me a story, that's when I noticed his right eye wonders off as the other eye looks down at his food it was not scary or gross to me at all but I was a bit courious as of why this might happen. I told him "hey ur right eye wonders off" he said oh yea it always does that only when I eat and started laughing in an ebarassed kind of way. Then he said his entire family teased him when they saw him doing that. He has no control over it. Can somebody help me on finding out why his eye wonders of?

It is caused by a lax muscle and is called a 'lazy' eye. It can be corrected while young. My son had I t done twice when he was 5 and then again at 7. Its too bad his parents didn't have the forsight to correct that problem.

Many of us have some disability, and I as one who has a issue with one eye, it hurts deeply when someone asks about it. While I know personally it is very visible, I prefer to talk about it at my own speed.
