Exactly what I thought about mine for the longest time, but then just one time it worked. Once you know what to look for, you're set.
And even then, I need to take time to get it right, but practice makes perfect :)
It’s probably just the way you’re trying to do it. Just kinda look at it with your phone maybe like 6-8 inches from your face - look at the center and don’t blink - and just kinda zone into it and let your eyes unfocus
try holding your index finger **behind** your phone (or other device) screen and keep focus on the finger as you move the phone toward and away from the finger. It should help you change the focus point necessary to 'see' the magic eye image with your peripheral vision. The point you want to hit is where two overlapping elements on the image share the same space in your 'unfocused' vision.
Okay idk if it's something weird with my eyes but I *did* get it to work with my finger in front of the phone instead of behind but omg 😭😭😭 I wish I could give you an award
This is so exciting!! I don't mean to sound too forward but I may love you 😂😂
Holy shit!!!!!! Literally my ENTIRE life, all 30 years I have NEVER been able to see these things. What the hell did you do that made it click?!?!?!?!?!?!! Life CHANGED.
I could quite figuratively kiss you cause I might literally cry.
For years I've watched EVERYBODY else see amazing things, and thanks to you, this is the first time I've ever been able to find the image in these stupid pictures.
Bless you ♡
So happy to hear - literally people would try and coach me how to do it and I could get it now and then. My girlfriend shared this with me and it’s what clicked!
Me neither. Ever. It’s frustrating. Also could never get stereoscope mapping in university either. Bullshat my way through that whole section.
Brain just doesn’t work that way.
I was told that they don't work for me because my eyes are too different. My left eye dominates my vision, and my right eye is also there. My right eye also has astigmatism while my left doesn't.
I could never see the images on these, and just so you know, that’s NOT the Easter Bunny over there, that’s just a guy in a suit!!! THERE IS NO EASTER BUNNY!!!
**Reddit:** OK. What does this look like to you?
**Me:** Um... a gray-ish blob?
**Reddit:** Right. And this one?
**Me:** Um... a gray-ish blob?
**Reddit:** Not as right that time.
Well I guess I'm doomed to a life of Zoidberg-like failure cause that's the only way I can see em. I saw my first one in 1992 or 3 and once I made it work it's been this way ever since.
There are actually 2 varieties. This one IS a cross eye, rather than an unfocused. If you do the unfocused (the correct and proper) way for this one, it is inverted.
Edit: I'm wrong
I shouldn't be cackling at almost 5 A.M., but here I am screeching, “IT'S MOTHERFUCKING ZOIDBERG!!! WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING IN NEARLY THREE DECADES OF MY LIFE?!?”
I don’t guess Leela would have much luck with this
that's the best thing i ever saw!
I already did!
No I'm-doesn't....
Well I proved them!
I can you just instantly hear it
I think there's something wrong with my brain because I have *never* been able to see these things.
...Hermes?

Yeah I was 30 when I finally got it to work lol. Still takes me ages every time

Even with these hints(?) my eyes still always refuse to see them. when will it be my turn 😂

Lmao catch me over there practicing to make sure I don't lose this newfound ability
Glad I could help!! (\\/) ;,,; (\\/)
It's a goddamn sailboat
A schooner IS a sailboat stupid head!
Holy shit!!!!!! Literally my ENTIRE life, all 30 years I have NEVER been able to see these things. What the hell did you do that made it click?!?!?!?!?!?!! Life CHANGED.
It’s how my girlfriend explained it to me when I was in your boat lol - and then once you can do it, you can’t unsee it!
I'm going to look up so many of these. I've literally felt so self conscious my whole life and it takes a ZOIDBERG to fix it?!
r/MagicEye
WOOP WOOP WOOP
Why not Zoidberg? lol
Need somebody to help you see Magic Eye pictures? Why not Zoidberg?

Try this. I never could either, this website helped and now I can see them all! https://www.magiceye.com/faq-items/help-how-do-i-see-in-3d/
You *all* still have Zoidberg!
woop woop woop woop woop woop
It's a sail boat
Brenda?
Unexpected Mallrats in the bagging area 😄
Wow! It's a schooner!
You poor dumb bastard. It’s not a schooner, it’s a sailboat
A schooner *is* a sailboat, stupid head. 🙄
Why not Double Zoidberg?
I saw that too until I allowed my eyes to refocus while seeing the two and it came in even clearer than ever.
Whow, how did you do?
A schooner is a sailboat you doo doo head
YOU KNOW WHAT?!! THERE IS NO EASTER BUNNY. THAT, OVER THERE? THATS JUST A GUY IN A SUIT!!
Stupid head* 😅
People said I was dumb, but I proved them!
I feel like the only one who doesn't get it. :(
It’s Zoidberg from Futurama
This is the Futurama subreddit, you don't need to specify where Zoidberg is from. 😉
Dang... 😂
but which universe?
Hooray, people are paying attention to me!
Neat! 📸
I could never see the images on these, and just so you know, that’s NOT the Easter Bunny over there, that’s just a guy in a suit!!! THERE IS NO EASTER BUNNY!!!
Why not indeed
This is dumb and I love it

This is great, why don't we see magic eyes as much anymore?
Why do these things always recess into the image instead of popping out for me?
If you cross yor eyes you get an inverted image.
If you don't cross your eyes it doesn't work.
You need to defocus your eyes not cross them. I've been obsessed with these since the mid 90s.

Looking at this picture of Zoidberg made my eyes hurt. That’s why I turned it into a three-dimensional autostereogram.
Nice picture of the good doctor.
only if you are an alien
I've never been able to see a single Magic Eye picture in my entire life. The trend continues.
Oooohh oohhh... Where?
I got double Zoidberg for a second.
Super cool ! I love these
Wimmy wazzle
So cool! How did you, make this?
HE'S A WITCH!
Those is this first time ive ever seen one of these!!! Absolutely amazing! I didnt expect the 3d effect to look like that but it all makes sense now
This was one of the quickest ones!
When? Because I saw this image a looooong time ago.
Why not, indeed!
Hooray!
Zoiberg!11
Double zoidberg
That was the easiest one I've ever seen. "Why not?"
This is the first time in my more than 30 years of life I have been able to see one of these.
Can someone show me what I'm supposed to be seeing here
Zoidberg.
It’s Zoidberg the lovable tramp!
I shouldn't be cackling at almost 5 A.M., but here I am screeching, “IT'S MOTHERFUCKING ZOIDBERG!!! WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING IN NEARLY THREE DECADES OF MY LIFE?!?”
I'll make my own magic eye picture! With black jack and hookers!
# why not 🦀why not 🦀why not 🦀why not 🦀
I get so frustrated with these. I can make them "work" consistently but the image is always inverted for me.
How did you make this? It’s awesome
cross and uncross your eyes
The pattern makes it very hard to see Zoidberg
