Alan Medic Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Having a possible stye on my right eyelid I wanted to have a good look.I soon found that I could close my left eye and see through my right eye. But the other way around, I couldn't.Meaning I couldnt close my right eye and keep my left one open.I'm left handed. Has this something to do with it?Try it and let's see the results.

Mick Mac Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I can wink with both eyes. I can even do it with both eyes at the same time but it's blinking difficult and you probably shouldnt try it without appropriate training.

Extract from Winkapedia:Both eyes (bat/flutter)[edit]To close and open, or "wink", both eyes is usually an involuntary action known as a "blink". Though if done intentionally, in a particular way (such as once slowly or a few times in a row quickly), while giving a sweet or suggestive look with the eyes, often with the head tilted or at an angle in combination with the shoulders, is known as to "bat an eyelash", "bat/batting eyelashes", or "flutter/fluttering eyelashes". This is most commonly done by girls, as a way of flirting, showing interest, or in an attempt to persuade the receiver.

My left one won't open/close independently, it's a tad frustrating).

Otta Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I can do that. One of the "good" things (along with a freedom pass) that comes with having my weird eyes.

Loz Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I used to know a girl that couldn't wink at all. Much fun was had encouraging her try when we were out drinking.

numbers Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Jeremy that is absolutely bloody gross and could give people nightmares!! Alan I can do it with both eyes (including Sean Connery 007 eyebrow raise with my right eyebrow but not left). I am right-handed. If that helps.

DaveR Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Only being able to wink on one side is very common - it's linked to which is your dominant eye for 'sighting'It's also pretty common for your dominant eye to be on the opposite side from your dominant hand; lots of right handed people find they have to shoot left-handed because they can only close their right eye.

steveo Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I was pretty handy at target shooting as a kid and fancied I might have been a sniper, except I couldn't kill an ant without begging for forgiveness or more importantly keep my left eye shut.It was a common problem in the rifle club and some of the shooters sported pirate eyepatches Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/72520-can-you-wink-with-both-eyes/#findComment-895822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laddy Muck Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Well I have learnt something today because I thought that a "wink" was only a "wink" when executed with ONE eye.I can blink...I mean...wink with both eyes. I write with right hand, pluck eyebrows with right hand, saw branches with both right and left arm and play football with left and right foot.
