Blink

My right eye, my viewfinder looking through eye, is throwing an age concern wobbly so, I have to start looking through the viewfinder with my left eye. But I be darned if I can wink with my right eye. I can’t remember how I learnt to close just my left eye so some tips and exercises please.

My right eye hurts if I look through an evf continously within 4 minutes. As it's been the eye I've been looking through over decade.

Sliced cold cucumber over my right eye alleviates.

I've switched to my left eye for evf, as my left doesn't hurt even upto 7-10minutes continuous.

One reason I prefer tilt screen to photograph through.

Sign me up! I've got cataracts and an unreasonable fear of getting cataract surgery. When I edit, photos that look great to me look blue to the rest of the world. If I shoot a grey card and adjust white balance on it, photos look absolutely yellow to me and fine for everyone else.

I learned at school when using a mono microscope in biology classes to keep both eyes open and just ignore the unwanted image. Later on, I told my biology students to do the same. I think they mostly managed (but all this was a long time ago).

So it's a matter of training the brain.

I had cataracts and feared surgery. I think everyone does. In practice, it was OK.

The replacement lenses are acrylic, and fixed focus. So reading glasses are needed for close work.

Cataracts are the same colour as Ray-Bann sunglasses. They mess up your blue/yellow discrimination.

Tried keeping both eyes open yesterday. It puts the frame of the photograph out there on the scene. Will persevere.

I wasn't even aware I kept both eyes open when looking through ovf evf. I double checked after reading your post. Didn't even occur to me to close one eye.

You need to change your name to “seeing somethings and missing nothing”.
