while focusing my right eyeball moves outwards. - #11467
Whenever trying to read or focus on something, after some time, only my right eyeball moves outward, which leads to difficulty seeing the thing. The picture blurs, and blinking restores the eyeballs' position.

Doctors’ responses
1. Outward drifting of one eye while focusing may suggest a muscle imbalance or weakness in eye coordination.
2. Since blinking temporarily resets the alignment, it could be related to fatigue, convergence insufficiency, or nerve involvement.
3. This is not usually from routine eyestrain alone and should not be ignored.
4. An eye specialist (ophthalmologist or neuro-ophthalmologist) can check with simple eye movement tests.
5. Please book a consultation soon for proper evaluation and timely treatment.

The eyeball not only moves outwards while reading, but it also happens while seeing normally or talking to someone. It often happens.
Frequent outward drifting of the eye even while talking or seeing is not just eyestrain it suggests a muscle or nerve related issue. Please see an ophthalmologist soon for alignment tests and timely treatment.
