Letter: Eye on the . . .

Published 11 August 2001

From Paul Bracey

If Paul Morgan of the University of British Columbia is having trouble
retraining dominant eyes
(14 July, p 36),
then I recommend he watch the movie Wings of the Apache.
In it, army helicopter pilot Nicolas Cage
overcomes his eye dominance by driving around the airfield with a periscope
strapped to his submissive eye and a pair of panties covering the other.

In true Hollywood fashion, it only takes about 10 minutes of this treatment
to cure his eye dominance. But the idea seems sound, panties-on-head shenanigans
notwithstanding.
