[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 183488, member: 1991"] Sara, the images that should stand out go into the picture if your eyes are toeing in instead of out. It CAN work that way but is harder to control, which is why for most people it's easier to relax the eyes and let them toe out - the more 'normal' position for eyes in a world where people aren't always playing computer games or doing close work. That's what we were told by the kids' optometrist, anyway. When difficult child 1 couldn't see the magic Eyes (because his eyes don't toe out as they should) the bloke said to try to see them the other way, to at least get the idea of what he should see. Then to work on seeing them come out the other way. In the days before Magic Eye there was another eye exercise which was basically made form a piece of card (you could make one yourself). You had draw a line on both sides of the card, so the line was in exactly the same place on both sides. YOu then had to accurately mark some large dots or X along the lines, so the dots would match up on either side of the card. Each side had to be a perfect mirror image of the other. To do the exercise - you held the card on edge vertically at 90 degrees to your nose, so one eye saw one side of the card and the other eye saw the other side. You then focussed on the furthest dot and did your best to see it in perfect focus with both eyes working. As you got better, you brought your focus forward and learned to fix and hold your focus at different lengths. I suspect tis is an exercise you could do easily, Sara. Magic Eye takes your convergence back the other way. Marg [/QUOTE]
