cross-eyes

Inward-turning vision condition

Cross-eyes is a condition where the eyes turn inward toward the nose rather than aligning straight ahead.

The medical term is strabismus.

As an insult, calling someone cross-eyed suggests they look stupid or can't see straight: What are you, cross-eyed? It's right in front of you.
