Well, I've just had a bit of an unusual episode. A guy in the nativity crowd had turned round and started talking to the bloke sat next to me.

 

So I just carried on watching the play.

 

After 30 seconds, this guy taps me on the knee and says "you ignoring me??"

 

I thought, well yes, because you're eyes are all over the fucking shop and I thowt you were talking to the chap at my side.

 

Which makes me think 2 things

 

1) how do the bogeyed actually see? Is it like being a fly and it's just a lot of guesswork?

 

2) what's the social etiquette for dealing with the bogged? Do you mention it? Do you pick an eye and just stare at that one? Do you switch between eyes and end up making it worse by looking like you're at a tennis match?

 

It's a fucking minefield.

I actually wondered this very thing the other day.

 

I saw a kid who's eyes were both pointing in different. It it possible to focus on something?

Focus on the nose. ITK

I have a lazy right eye and I'm paranoid to fuck when talking to people not as bad as spider was talking about mind

I remember at school the teacher holding up our pictures we had taken and I nearly died when a picture of the bogeyed girl in our class, with a huge grin on her face, was held aloft. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I now feel like a cunt and would like to apologise to her.

One eye on't pot one eye on't kettle.

 

Growing up the woman that owned the chippy on the corner had it going on big style.

 

She would say "what you having love?" And the whole queue would answer.haha

I believe the pc term is either pie-eyed or pontoon

your eyes and brain correct the image.

Seems Swanny is reet

 

Normally, one sees straight, with the straight eye.
The turning eye is "suppressed" by the brain and it's vision does not register.

Rarely, crossed-eyed people do have both eyes functioning at the same time, and there is both double-vison and conflict.
One object seen twice, and two objects seen in the same place.
The turning eye will report an object straight ahead to the "good" eye as being off to one side, and will produce a conflicting report of a different object being straight ahead.

 

 

upstairs for thinking, downstairs for dancing and all that
