Actually it's just deeper in my head. I got elbowed by some kid in the eye a couple years ago, does that have anything to do with it? The deeper eye is blurrier than the other. Also it crosses when I focus my eyes on something, I have to keep moving my eyes to keep them straight. Is this serious? I asked my parents to take me but they said no it's fine, it'll correct overtime. They just want to take me to an eye doctor and it makes me mad. I don't know what to do, can someone please help me?
BTW my parents are nurses and I wear glasses and contacts.
I'm sorry I meant to say they won't take me beacause they don't think it's serious

see if you can have you eyes tested at school, with the nurse. its free and if it turns out you do have bad vision a note from a liscensed medical professional, such as a nurse, may sway in you favor when you ask your parents again...

If your parents are nurses, then they probably have a good idea of whether or not the condition is serious. You say that they want to take you to an eye doctor; I'd say that that's a good idea. He or she would then know whether this is more serious and whether you'll need to see a specialist. I'd say trust your parents on this one.

I would ask your parents to take you to see an optometrist. You should be going to one yearly anyway for regular check-ups on your vision. Nurses are NOT qualified enough to make medical decisions on treatment of ocular issues. And the screenings they do at a school are NOT an eye exam...it's a 'screening' which means the cut-off for passing/failing is much higher. Therefore, you might be deemed 'fine' by a screening, but actually have a mild problem. Also, sounds like part of your issues are due to binocular vision problems or extraocular muscle issues...things which are not tested in a school vision screening. Chances are, the issues you are facing will not correct over time and you should go have your eye doctor check it out. Again, yearly exams are the standard of care anyway....so you are probably due for an exam anyway.

If what you say is true, there is no question that you need evaluation by a professional. A general Ophthalmologist should be able to determine whether you have suffered orbital trauma from your accident or perhaps there is an intra-orbital tumor growing within your orbit. This should be evaluated, especially if you are now having double vision/crossing of your eyes in asociation with your blurred vision. Sounds very bothersome to me as a professional as I see it. Tell your parents enough with the "patients at work" and take care of your own. Good luck.
