my eye turns outward sometimes

So I'm 18 years old and I have high myopia in both eyes -11 in left and -13 in right.

I've noticed that my right eye drifts outwards sometimes,I don't see double everytime that it drifts, sometimes it just gets a little blurry, sometimes my right eye just feels a little weird and sometimes I see double, what could be causing this to happen?

One more question, is it possible to have both inward and outward eye drift in the same eye?

That problem would be called intermittent exotrophia.    In that condition the eyes would still turn in as normal to look at near objects. You would need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist and have special tests done by the Eye MD to determine your eye alignment.
