Sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as "lazy eye" or "wandering eye." Impairs normal eye-contact and impacts interactions with others, often resulting in significant social stigma. Sufferers often feel overly self-conscious, report issues with self-esteem, and also face lifelong problems in social relationships, romantic pursuits and employment opportunities.
