I’ve tried literally everything. I cannot see whatever the hell you guys are seeing. It’s making me so mad. Like I must just have something wrong with one of my eyes because this is impossible.

I've just had a breakthrough. I could see these in the past by looking through the image at the reflection of something because they were covered in glass. Now I've never really been able to do them in books or definitely not on my ipad. But the wall of circle one just popped up in my feed and I thought how can I create a reflection. Well I just got my mag lite torch and shone it on my screen and boom. Job done. I just look through the image at the reflection and they appear. It's not working on all yet but at least I can see some finally after all these years.

Hope this helps someone be able to see them.

Two images are not MagicEye. Those belong in either /r/CrossView or /r/ParallelView.

Seems like this has coincided with an influx of repost bots.

I got myself a Meta Quest 3 this week and started using it with my computer to browse the net with an ultra wide screen virtual screen.

Anyway I was really curious when I got to catch up on magic eye posts on here and realised I can't do them in VR at all no matter how hard I tried.

I'm trying to figure out whether it's just impossible with VR due to the focal plane (I couldn't unfocus myself eyes pass the image) or if I'm just not used to it in VR and have to retrain myself.

Just curious if anyone else have had experience trying in VR?

I was in elementary when these things first got big, and although I couldn't figure it out for the first few hours, I ended up putting the book right up to my face, and it was awesome! Perfect images, very clear and obvious what it was, it was literally popping right out at me! Then something happened where my brain started investing the image to be sunken in and now I can't tell what it is. I just saw the water one at the top here currently, come across my feed and gave it a shot. Instantly got the sunken in image again :-(.

Does anyone know any tricks to going back?

This used to be high up on the top of all time list. Not sure what happened to that post but thought it belongs back on here.

I fell in love with the sterograms when they were the next big thing. Then they went away for some time and I’m seeing them come back around

I can cross my eyes; I can parallel-focus. Still strugggling to see any 3d images. Still getting getting neck spasms instead.

What does it mean to relax the eyes, and what does it do?

I consistently get 2 or 3 images overlapping when I start, then eventually am able to get it right. Let me know what you guys think!!

Basically the title, I was able to view magic eye stuff and the moving version of that with ease but now that I've had laser surgery I cannot. I'll ask my optometrist later this month but I am not exactly the most patient person. So.... follow eye surgery having magic eye enjoyers - Come to my rescue!

Edit - maybe not cant cant but its all blurry and much harder
