and my eyesight is awful.

Maybe that makes a difference?

I wear tri-focal lens and have for years.

And severe myopia is a definite risk factor for detached retina.

Get thee to an ophthalmologist immediately if a dark cloud suddenly descends on your eyesight in one eye! A delay could cost you your eyesight!

I also have severe myopia, though actually, it has improved as I have gotten older. I wear multifocal contacts, though, and my vision is so sharp with them that I forget and take them for granted.

It's also rather useful that if there is something so tiny that no one else can read it that all I have to do is float one of my contacts to the side, hold it close to my face, and I can read anything!

Don't need reading glasses anymore for most print.
But far distance is harder to see, need to update my glasses.

And with or without glasses I see only Einstein till I'm all the way across the room. (Image about 4 inches high on my monitor.)

I see Albert with my glasses on, and a Marilyn-Albert blend with my glasses off (a bit stronger Marilyn).

Neat!

Saw a composite of the two images at around 50 percent and only saw Marilyn at 33 percent.

both with and without my glasses. But if I look real hard for a while I can sort of see Monroe superimposed on Einstein.

that creepy statue of Lucille Ball...

Well played!

My dominant eye clearly shows me Marilyn, albeit with way too much lipstick.

The other just shows me a morph of the two.

I saw Einstein immediately, then floated each of my contacts to the side so that my vision wasn't corrected and saw Marilyn Monroe.

For those who see Marilyn, the bigger question is whether she's wearing a white and gold dress or a blue and black one.

would be why do think she needs a shave ?

I don't watch TV (can't afford and don't own) and most pop culture references are unfamiliar to me, could you provide a link or something so I know what people are taking about?

It was posted as 'What color is this dress?" The exposure settings were off, therefore some saw white and gold while other people saw blue and black. It went viral. I was up all night over that dress.

I can't imagine how people could see the colors so differently.

It went on forever. I was worried I might have a color issue.

"The Hidden Reality." It's quite a trip. Einstein up close, Marilyn a bit further away.

Very cool!

I think it should be added to my yearly vision, as I still need my reading glasses to see Einstein.

A very ugly Marilyn and a good looking Einstein at the same time and at any distance! Maybe each eye is doing its own thing!!

I see Marlyn Monroe's beautiful smiling face.

And my eyesight is very bad. I had cataract surgery in both eyes in March of last year. One eye has good sight, but the other has macular degeneration.

You can wake up to a whole other picture.

meeting of the two. It's been years since I have seen it, but it very good. Monroe explains relativity using flashlights and string.

With and without glasses I see Einstein. If I cover my left eye, my right sees Einstein. Cover my right eye and my left sees Marilyn Monroe (but with a bigger nose).

but also Marilyn. This is a cool optical illusion.

that is so strange....am sending this to most e-mail friends. Thanks for posting.

Go Albert!

So I guess the eye test works as advertised.

With my cheaters on sitting at the computer I saw Einstein. When I took off the specs and walked 10 feet away I saw Monroe.

But I am legally blind in that eye, extremely far sighted.

With or without my glasses with my pretty good left eye, I see a blurry Albert Einstein.

untill I take off my glasses. Then I see Marilyn.

All I had to do was take off my glasses, and Monroe appeared.

I've seen this one before--I have to look before I see Marilyn

wild hair rather than with Marilyn's hair.

but if I roll my chair across the room, I can see Marilyn....with an Einstein mustache.
Very disturbing.

Without glasses my near vision is crap, and I can't hold the thing far away enough to see MM. Glasses on or off.

So I leaned it up against the wall on the kitchen counter walked across the room and took a look. Nope, still Einstein.

Do I have glaucoma?
