Cross-eyed people

Post by gulliver » 06 Jul 2007 21:04

Joking aside, what do they see, if anything, from their 'good eye'?

Say they're standing in front of you and their good eye is looking straight at you, while the other eye is looking for a bus.

What do they see?

You?

Or whatever stands in the direction their eye is pointing at?

Am I the only one who finds it disconcerting while talking to someone with this affliction?

I would imagine that the dominant eye takes over and, just as a good marksman or someone that regularly uses a microscope with just one viewing lens would tell you, the data from the other eye is ignored.

It can be disconcerting. I usually just stare at the person's nose or forehead instead of their eyes.

Probably the usual: people trying not to laugh too hard at the cross eyed freak.
