ya know how you can like look at a light, like the sun or a light bulb, and as you move your eyes around you an kinda make shapes like whirling your eyeball around to make a circle with the light ?

well I do that but instead of just with lights, I do it with normal objects in my field of vision, and I do it really fast.

to the observer my eyes balls look freakishly fast moving, but to me I am making your head into a big star shape over and over again.

I have no idea what you're talking about...

[–] wolfshadowheart 6 points 9 months ago

If you look at a light, when you blink there is a shape that appears.

For example, look at a light for a couple seconds, then look at the cover of a book dead center of your vision and blink. You may notice that it's hard to immediately read the text, due to something missing in your visual field.

OP is saying they are able to imprint objects on their field of view, the same way they do with light.

Can you make your eyes shake left and right too? Or is that what you mean? There was a sub on the R place devoted to that, /eyeshakers I think.

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

yeah left right up down, all over in varying ways. well thank you for pointing me in the direction of others - maybe it's not so unique after all. buuut I'm not going back to R place for some oculolinctus tomfoolery.

I can do that, I was envious of a family member who could do it when I was young and somehow taught myself to be able to do it. Though I always called it "vibrating my eyes". I can't maintain it indefinitely unfortunately
