From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Wall-eye \Wall"-eye`\, n. [See {Wall-eyed}.]
     [1913 Webster]
     1. An eye in which the iris is of a very light gray or
        whitish color; -- said usually of horses. --Booth.
        [1913 Webster]
  


     Note: Jonson has defined wall-eye to be "a disease in the
           crystalline humor of the eye; glaucoma." But glaucoma
           is not a disease of the crystalline humor, nor is
           wall-eye a disease at all, but merely a natural
           blemish. --Tully. In the north of England, as Brockett
           states, persons are said to be wall-eyed when the white
           of the eye is very large and distorted, or on one side.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     2. (Zool.)
        (a) An American fresh-water food fish ({Stizostedion
            vitreum}) having large and prominent eyes; -- called
            also {glasseye}, {pike perch}, {yellow pike}, and
            {wall-eyed perch}.
        (b) A California surf fish ({Holconotus argenteus}).
        (c) The alewife; -- called also {wall-eyed herring}.
            [1913 Webster]
