Don't despair - this list is largely "Post Only."
Except for Dr. T, most subscribers don't read the messages  ;-)

>> I was asked if it is healty to cross eyes regulary or for long time.

What did the mother flounder say to the baby flounder?

- "Don't do that with your eyes or they will stay that way!"

Other people who may have spent long hours vieing stereo pictures are:

Ben Turpin
Marty Feldman

On a more serious note, there are inexpensive optical devices which
aid in viewing stereo pairs without having to cross or "wall" the
eyes.

I would think pain and discomfort would limit eye crossing before
any possible "damage" could be done.  But we must watch out for
cold drafts, no?
