does my kitten have a lazy eye?

Is it possible for cats to have a ‘lazy eye’ like humans?
My cat had 3 kittens 2 weeks ago. I have 2 orange and a gray one.

I think my gray one has a ‘lazy eye’
It’s his left eye, the eye doesn’t move like the other one. It looks off to the side. Is this because he’s still a baby getting used to seeing? The 2 orange ones don’t do it like he does. I know sometimes you see pictures of kittens and their eyes look off in weird directions.

Here, I got a really good picture of him (by accident) and that is when I noticed it. His right eye is clearly looking into the camera, but his left one is pointing in the opposite direction.
If it is a lazy eye, will this be detrimental in any way as he is growing up??

Thanks

    yes, in about a month or so, it’ll go away because some kittens usually have that in their first two to 3 weeks of life.

    they usually go away later.but sometimes if interbreeding it will be a birth defect,was the dad of the kittens anything to do with the mum like sister
