Could i have a brain Tumor?
recently my mother said that she thought my right eye was starting to have a cross eyd look because it seemed to be moving closer to the left. She is the only one that has noticed this because neither me or my friends can tell the difference. Still, Im scared it could be a Brain tumor, but my mom thinks its because i have really long hair and that it often falls down over my right eye... Additional Details Also, this started out with a somewhat droopy eyelid, but my vision is still perfectly fine
You don't have a Brain Tumor..... my brother-in-law had one and he started out way different.
- Something was wrong with his bladder and liver.

Probably not.Go and enjoy your life and don't worry so much.

i seriously doubt that you have a brain tumor. if you did you would be having a lot of problems with simple tasks. i don't want to scare you but there is an eye cancer called Retinoblastoma, when a tumor forms behind the eye. one way to tell is if you take a picture of yourself with flash, instead of getting red eye there will be what looks like a white light coming from your eye.

I am not a doctor.
While at first glance this does not appear to be an indication of a possible brain tumor without a combination of several other symptoms. From what you describe, it sounds like it could be a quite simple Phoria.
"Phoria is a tendency for misalignment of the eyes. The tendency is so minor that, for most of the day, the eye muscle and brain can completely correct any misalignment and maintain fusion. Phoria usually does not cause symptoms, but if sufficiently severe, it can lead to strabismus and double vision. <clipped> Usually, no treatment is needed for phorias without symptoms."
Stabismus esotropia (inward turning)
"Strabismus (squint, cross-eyes, wandering eye) of one eye so that its line of vision is not pointed at the same object as the other eye."
"If strabismus is mild, treatment may not be needed.<clipped>"
If your mother is witnessing a change in the way your eyes repond or appear, you need to be considering an Opthamologist to review for possible vision problems. An Optometrist is not the right doctor for concerns like this.
With an eye exam, an Opthamologist can determine if the symptoms presenting could be an indication that further study might be needed. While unlikely, for your own peace of mind you can, when there, ask them if what you are experiencing might be indications of Hydrocephalus - an increase in cerebral spinal fluid pressure. If not, then these are unlikely to be related to the development of a brain tumor.
God bless and with kind regards,

It could be nothing, it could be a simple vision problem, or there is an extremely small chance that it could be a brain tumor, although this isn't likely. I would see a doctor, just to be sure.

Let a doctor check you out for that issue. It may be something else.

I would ask for a professional opinion. At least that is just me.
