What Could Be The Reason For Eyes Crossing Temporarily?
I have recently experienced my eyes crossing temporarily. It lasts for less than a minute and is accompanied by slight dizziness for about 5 minutes. I have a history of migraines and wear glasses for reading and distance. Also I have an astigmatism in both eyes. What could be causing this? I have no control over the eyes when this happens!!

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having dizziness and crossing for eyes lasting for few seconds.
These symptoms indicate transient ischaemic attack.
This requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
The common causes are vascular headaches and vascular causes.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
