The longer you look, the clearer the illusion becomes. Once you perceive the hidden image and depth, you can look around the entire 3D image. When you clearly see three squares, hold the page still, and the hidden image will magically appear. If you see one or two squares, start over! If you see four squares, move the image farther away from your face until you see three squares. Very slowly move the image away from your face until the two squares above the image turn into three squares. Focus as though you are looking through the image into the distance. Hold the center of the printed image right up to your nose. The makers of Magic Eye offer this advice:

If your eyes are fine, then your Magic Eye problems could just be a matter of technique. A number of things can cause binocular and stereo vision impairment - most commonly, deviations or misalignments of one or both eyes ('crossed eyes' or 'wall eyes'), situations where one eye is dominant because visual stimulation either transmits poorly or not at all from the other, astigmatism or cataracts. If you think you have an eye problem, go see an eye doctor who can test and treat your stereo vision. To view 3D stereo images, your peepers have to work together as a coordinated team. If they're not pulling together, you're going to have some glitches in your binocular (two-eyed) vision or stereo vision (where the two slightly different views from your eyes are combined in the brain). Most Magic Eye problems have to do with the way the eyes work with each other and the brain. So what gives? Is there something wrong with these people's eyes? Are they cursed? Are there really no hidden pictures? Is this all a hoax? When we discussed how Magic Eye pictures work, a lot of people commented about how they can never see the hidden image.
