Is Inward Deviating Eye When Nervous And Tired Normal?
Hi, I have noticed over the last six years my left eye seems to deviate inwards at times when iam nervous, possibly tired and trying to focus at looking into someone's eyes when talking (which also makes me nervous). What do you suppose this is and do I need treatment for it? What causes this?
