Why I can’t look in different directions with my eyes.
You can. Back in 2006 while doing "How to [cross](_URL_1_) just One Eye" and "Speak with an Echo," I got ambitious and tried inducing [MartyFeldman-o-vision](_URL_0_). I had some fresnel prisms left from a failed toy design[1] which only deflect a couple degrees.
The Short Answer
You can. Back in 2006 while doing "How to [cross](_URL_1_) just One Eye" and "Speak with an Echo," I got ambitious and tried inducing [MartyFeldman-o-vision](_URL_0_). I had some fresnel prisms left from a failed toy design[1] which only deflect a couple degrees. Mount on eyeglass frames to bend light inward. They gave double vision, but I couldn't fuse stereo images. So I took one out. Success! After a few minutes (w/pain) my eyes compensated. I wore these glasses for about half an hour, then whipped them off while in front of a mirror. I could barely see the "walleye" effect. And my eyes returned to normal within seconds. Now try to teach yourself to aim one eye upwards, other one down. Or dilate just one pupil while contracting the other. Use it to fake brain damage. . [1]failed toy design: fresnel-prism glasses which make you feel tall by bending light vertically. They sorta work. More like, make gravity tilt backwards.
