Does my lazy eye look bad?

I have an eye test in a couple of weeks- I’ve been stupid and not worn glasses even though I know I have lazy eyes. As a child they never patched me though so it could’ve been treated better back then.

I don’t think it’s that obvious but I’m self conscious of it.

The first is me looking directly at the camera. Second photo is me looking at something above and I can feel my eye straining.

Don't worry about it at all sweetie you're beautiful! Honestly, if I looked at you I wouldn't be able to tell unless you told me and I was really looking for it. Also, don't feel bad about your body, everybody is different, and it's something you should own and be proud of. :h:

You should wear your glasses if you feel strain.
As for looks, I can hardly notice you squint in the top photo, you don't look cross-eye.

Thank you. Can you notice the lazy eye more in the second photo?
I can't even tell which eye is meant to be lazy ngl you look fine
Edit: my mum is a nurse and she had a look at it, she couldn't tell either... you're good!

Not really, but you clearly straining your right eye, but you don't look cross-eyed.
Not noticeable

Considering you're only getting an eye test done now, the squint is hardly noticeable! Just make sure you wear your glasses when you get them

And yes, for patches, it stops working when you reach the age of 7 :smile:
