Become some sort of Aquatic Animal
A vitreous solution allows your eyes to float out of your head while the muscles of the eye sockets extend and retract them by their ocular nerves through their aquatic environs. | |
Simply by wearing the vitreous solution containing goggles, the human eyeball is allowed to float in the socket until the ocular nerve grows long enough, encouraged by constant stretching by muscle flexion in response to observed stimuli.
Once this happens the eyballs can escape the socket and enjoy
greater movement throughout the volumous goggles. The wearer who has grown extending their eyeballs from an early age exercises remarkable muscular control as the eyballs dart around.

Well, obviously this is a sensible idea. I am only
marginally skeptical of the ability of muscles (which
are entirely contractile) to control an extracranial
eyeball. |

Been on a trip recently, [rcarty]? |

So recently it's right now. |

So, I wouldn't have to use my neck to raise my head a bit upwards, when I want to look at the sky? Nice. |

By the use of these goggles, I looked myself in the eye this morning and said... |
|
| |
The obvious gain is you can turn and look at your own face. However given the snaileyes I doubt I would want to... |

Isn't there an African tribe out there that does this? |

Couldn't this same effect be accomplished via a sharp blow
to the back of the head? I've seen it happen to dogs,
usually after being hit by a car. |
