My parents spanked me as a child.

As for your eye: I am no eye specialist, no specialist in anything really, but you should have this checked out properly by a specialist. Listen around first to find a good GP and then see, if anything can be done. Maybe just the right contact lens might help? I don't really know; this is a specialist's job; but check and double-check your doctor and then your eye specialist. If it costs money to fix, don't fret over it, do it.

Eyes are important, they are our first point of contact with everyone we meet - it is often difficult for me, too, to focus on someone who has an eye out of alignment - it needs fixing if it is at all possible, if not, maybe wear 'shades' when out and about and you've probably got a tan, so you would look 'cool' already, anyway; shades might complete that 'look'.

Here is a Website worth reading - but, please, check everything with a proper specialist - maybe just wander into one of those optician shops first and talk to someone knowledgable there (not just the pretty salesgirl!) - without obligation.

So maybe all you need is a contact lens for the bad eye? Maybe you are wearing one already.

Please check it out - you won't know until you have asked many questions of knowledgable people.
I believe something should be done, because some of those sites say that eyesight also happens in the brain and if you favour one side, over a period of time you will lose more and more sight in the lazy eye.

I did seek to get a contact lense, the first optomitrist said I had a slight bulge in the eye, the 2nd one an older more experienced optomitrist said couldve been caused by forcepts during birth, hitting my eye, or some other word he used, meaning by parents. So although this type of thing is never mentioned, it is probable over more than a decade of hits and slaps to the face and head its obvious a finger wouldve hit the eye at least a few times.

I ended up getting lazor lasic on it twice at about 31yrs old. I just always wonder how much more I couldve done with my life with both my eyes sharp. Main reason I wasnt much good at school was reading blurry books and reading the blackboard.

These days things like this get noticed and delt with. Only one of my teachers in my whole schooling noticed and made me sit up the front.

All I can say is, Hit your kids for sure if the need arrises. Just not in the head. Who knows how many Brain tumors are caused by head hits as a child.

Noone ever mentions or studies if people with Tumors were hit, or people without them werent hit. Too many things arnt taboo.

I dont think I have a Tumor though but to me the thought of someone hitting kids grates on me.
