2 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Wall-eyed \Wall"-eyed`\, a. [Icel. valdeyg[eth]r, or vagleygr fr vagl a beam, a beam in the eye (akin to Sw vagel a roost, a perch, a sty in the eye) + eygr having eyes (from auga eye). See {Eye}.] Having an eye of a very light gray or whitish color. --Booth. Note: Shakespeare, in using wall-eyed as a term of reproach (as ``wall-eyed rage,'' a ``wall-eyed wretch''), alludes probably to the idea of unnatural or distorted vision. See the Note under {Wall-eye}. It is an eye which is utterly and incurably perverted, an eye that knows no pity. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: walleyed adj : having divergent strabismus [ant: {cross-eyed}]
