Don't panic if your infant's eyes appear to be crossed. It's normal for babies' eyes to be crossed in the early months of life and straighten out by the end of the first year. (This is why during each well-baby checkup the doctor shines a light into the baby's eyes to see that they're developing correctly.) If your doctor suspects that your baby's eyes are truly crossed, the next step will be a referral to a children's eye specialist or pediatric ophthalmologist. The specialist will do a more thorough eye exam and test the strength of each eye muscle. If a crossed or lazy eye is detected, the doctor will recommend treatment to strengthen the weak eye muscles and develop the visual pathways in the brain. This usually involves wearing a patch over the stronger eye to force the muscles in the weaker eye to work harder. Sometimes glasses or eye drops can be used to blur the vision in the stronger eye—another way to force the use of the weaker eye. As a last resort, surgery can correct the weakened muscles. http://www.parenting.com/article/ask-dr-sears-concerned-about-crossed-eyes My friend's kid suddenly can't see and feel dizzy when he was 5 years old and doctor diagnosed him with cross-eyed and need to wear a patch on each eye to correct. The condition has improved after 1 year.
My sister had lazy eye when she was a baby and was treated by covering the stronger eye for a period of time every day. After that she was also prescribed glasses to help her eye focus. But my parents tried to limit her use of the glasses and continued with the eye patch for a longer period instead.
Usually babies develop cross eyed when they focus on object too closely. Maybe you can try letting him view things from far. Like you can try to stand a distance away from him and wave his favourite toys at him so that he can practise looking at things that are far away.
