Strabismus

Misalignment of the eyes where one or both eyes droop(s) down, fixate(s) upward and/or turn(s) outward or inward, giving individuals the appearance of being cross-eyed and/or developmentally disabled. 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.

People often assume Greg is retarded because his strabismus problem gives him a comical cross-eyed appearance.
