What Causes The Left Eye To Be Stationary?
I am a 17 year old female. I regularly smoke marijuana and when I do I have noticed, as well as others around me, that my right eye looks outward while my left eye remains stationary in the middle. I was wondering if marijuana causes this because it only ever happens when I smoke marijuana.

Possibilities are Right eye proptosis or Left eye ptosis.
Proptosis most commonly would be due to thyroid disease(high) initially unilateral or unequal. Other causes could be orbital lesions due to infection,inflammation or tumor.
Left eye ptosis(lid drooping) could give impression of right eye proptosis.
In any case you need medical attention, kindly consult.
Also consider giving up drugs.

may not be linked to marijuana. but stop taking marijuana. what is happing is exophoria. get refraction done and if correction is required in right eye it is to be given. but it is to be seen whether it is a lazy eye. so decision is to be taken after test.
