- Deviated gaze

These are two images of the same child, notice that the top image shows the left eye slightly cross-eyed. This is fixed in the bottom picture by stretching the extra skin around the eye.
Deviated Gaze is an abnormal movement of the eyes. It is often found as a symptom for subdural hematoma. However, this is not always true as some people may just have it from birth or something else that caused the bone and skin to form this certain way.
Cause
A deviated gaze can result from several complications. If bones and skin on the face are causing the eyes to spread apart too far, the eyes may start moving by themselves without cooperating with each other, therefore each eye becomes influenced by what it views and each is focused on that view, causing the deviation. It can also be caused by trauma, neurological disorders and epilepsy.
Treatment
According to recent studies structure of the bones and skin could be the answer to stopping it. This can probably be achieved by a certain surgery of some sort. A change in posture could also help heal the deformed bones.
