Cross your eyes 'till the two become one in the middle & you can only see THREE.

That's how it works if this helps any.

But when I cross my eyes they go out of focus

because the focus is on the tip of my nose.

You're crossing them the wrong way.......just r-e-l-a-x them & double vision happens naturally.

That's not crossing the eyes, though.

That's distance-focusing.

So re-focus

Then I'll no longer be cross-eyed.

Where your eyes are positioned and how they are focussing are entirely different things!

If you are looking at your finger 5 cm from your nose you are cross eyed AND in focus, this is no different.

I disagree. I think we have different definitions of cross-eyed.

That would explain it.

Cross eyed is when your eyes are crossed, ie, looking at something so close their eye line appears to cross over one another.
