This is a condition called pseudostrabismus or false strabismus.

Some babies' eyes may appear to be misaligned, but they are actually both aiming at the same object. This condition is called amblyopia or lazy eye. Untreated, eye turning can lead to permanently reduced vision in one eye. But over time the brain will learn to ignore the image from the turned eye. At first, this may create double vision and confusion. When the eyes are misaligned, the brain receives two different images. Proper eye alignment is important to avoid seeing double, for good depth perception, and to prevent the development of poor vision in the turned eye.

In other cases, the eyes may alternate turning. In some cases, the same eye may turn each time. The eye turning may occur all the time or may appear only when the person is tired, ill, or has done a lot of reading or close work. When problems develop with eye movement control, an eye may turn in, out, up or down. Normally, the eyes work together so they both point at the same place. The muscles receive signals from the brain that direct their movements. What? Oh! I mean, it’s cool….Six muscles attach to each eye to control how it moves.
