Default Can strabismus lead to complete blindness later in life?

I'm 24 and I've had strabismus my whole life. My right eye is crossed in and my left eye is dominate. I have vision in both eyes though and I see 20/20 with my left eye.

However, I have an issue where surgery is not an option for me. I've gone to several doctors and they all tell me there is nothing I can do to straighten my eyes besides surgery.

My concern is that my left eye (good eye) crosses when I'm relaxed. I can still control it completely, but if I don't consentrate or focus on something it will cross. So basically, if I completely relax my eyes they will both look at my nose.

Can this be a problem? I can't have surgery so if my left eye gets too weak I'll have a big problem because I have very limited control over the movement of my right eye.

THis sounds like a very good question for your doctor! I hope one of the Docs in here answer! I have no clue! I wish you a miricle so you can have surgery to re align your eyes. YOu would be amazed. O^O
