German Measles/Rubella Question?

When I was about three years old my left eye lost the ability to move left. My parents took me to a opthamologist who did a quick examination and said that he didn't know what had caused it, but the muscle had been damaged and my left eye would be able to move in every direction without complications--- Except to the left.

A few years later in kind of a by-the-by thing, my parents took me to another docter who had a bio-feedback machine. He said that when I received my German Measles shot that I had somehow contracted the virus, and it had done damage to my eye. I was really to young to remember what exactly was said.

My question:
Could this have really happened? If so why did it attack my eye, and what damage did it do?
I have done research on the internet about Rubella and can't really find a whole lot of info, other that it is a mild virus with little or no side-affects.

Darn near ANYTHING is possible, but in this case, it's highly unlikely. I doubt this other doctor should have made their years later diagnosis that rubella caused this problem, at least without extensive tests to rule out other causes.
