  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.
     [1913 Webster]


  
     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.
           [1913 Webster]
