Cause Of Light Headedness Due To Crossed Eye Feeling?

I experience episodes of my vision feeling as if my eyes are crossed. It make me feel light headed. It happened today and I felt like I was drunk when walking. I am farsighted and when this first started happening my eye doctor recommended an MRI. It came back normal. I have been wearing contacts for severals years using mono vision...one distant and one close up. Any ideas as to what is causing the eye problem?

You far sighted means having hypermetropia. In your type of refractive error you may develop exohoria. You need a cover test of your eye . All movments are to be checked. Confrontation test can be done. Finaly refraction isto be done. If there is change of power then correct power is to be given. You can take a bifocal. Other wise you have to change the specs for distant and near vision always. You may think of amultifocal glass. Bifocal cotactlense isalso available. Your acceptanceisfinal.
