    What term is given for the opposite of "cross-eyed"?

    Question #47957. Asked by peasypod. (May 30 04 8:10 PM)


    Hismissive

    		Cock-eyed is when you keep an eye out.

    		I was under the impression that the opposite of cross-eyed was walleyed. See your link.

    		I think I'd go with Hismissive on that one, although by that site's definition both cock-eyed and cross-eyed could be the same thing, as it says they look in different directions. My definition of wall-eyed is large and unfocusing, but both looking in the same direction.

    		But that is EXACTLY what I mean.

    To me, walleyed is both eyes looking at the one direction, while cross and cock-eyed are looking in opposite directions.

    		True story, but I read your question to mean that opposite is the other extreme, in this case cross-eyes look inward, and cock-eyes look outward. Walleyes don't seem to look anywhere.
