What Causes Strange Cross-eyed Feeling, Dizziness And Blurred Vision?
Question: Hi, I have no insurance yet and concerned about some episodes that have occurred. It started happening about 3 months ago and has happened about 5 times now. I get a cross-eyed feeling in my eyes but they aren't really crossed. the episodes last about a minute or less depending on how hard I can concentrate to get rid of. Then 2 days ago i had a dizziness like spell that I thought I would fall over if I didn't grab on to something. Over the last few days my eyelid has gotten very heavy and blurry eye. Like heavy pressure on my eyeball. I am scared this might be something serious? Any thoughts? thanks XXXX

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history and the photos attached with the question.
These symptoms suggest of transient ischemic attack. The recent photos show ptosis of the eyelid and presence of deviation of the eye.
Hence this requires examination to rule out nerve palsies involving the muscles of the eyelid.
Hence I would suggest neurological examination to rule out causes like third nerve palsy.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and do get back to me with the examination reports.
Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
