What is going on with my eyes?

Question

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong, it is quite normal. Most people can do that by just letting the eyes relax and go out of focus.

People who can't do that also have problems seeing those illusions pictures that are all over the internet.

Answer 2

hm... it seems that i can do the same. i don't think your eyes have any problem. if you force yourself too much in trying to double what you see (increase the gap between the doubled up things you can see), eventually, your eyes will look cross eyed. besides, eyes do have muscles to move them. 6 muscles altogether from what i learned in my first year. nevertheless, if you are really worried about this, you can always ask a doctor.
