Hello
It seems from the history that you are having double vision and crossed eyes.
This is because of paralysis of one or more extra ocular muscles as a result of paralysis of the nerves supplying them.
Crust meth can cause this indirectly.
This requires evaluation to find out the cause by neurological examination and tests.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.


Thank you
