I did nothing about it at the time, because I figured it was nothing to worry about. This happened a second time two days ago (4/20/09), exactly the same except it lasted only about 30 seconds. And the same feeling…slightly dizzy (about 5 minutes), and eye strain (about an hour) afterward.

What does it mean when your eyes are not lined up?
Adult strabismus (crossed eyes) is when your eyes are not lined up properly and they point in different directions. One eye may look straight ahead while the other eye turns in, out, up, or down. The misalignment can shift from one eye to the other. Strabismus affects vision, since both eyes must aim at the same spot together to see properly.
What does it mean if your baby has crossed eyes?
Many infants appear to have strabismus, but do not. Rather, they have a condition known as pseudostrabismus (or pseudoesotropia), in which a widened nasal bridge or an extra fold of skin makes the white sclera less visible on the nose side of the eye. This gives the appearance that the eyes are crossed.
