Look at the first post and click on the image to enlarge it.
put your face so that it is about six to eight inches from the image and then stop trying to see anything just look in the direction of the image but do not try and focus. It may take a liitle while but eventually the image will pop at you and focus.
The secret really is to let your eyes relax and not focus. When you aren't trying to see something it will appear, if you try and focus you will stop anything from happening.
Have another go, but relax and don't be in a hurry.

Stereograms are a world wide conspiracy that started in 1838 with the sole purpose of driving me insane. I have an IQ with some numbers in it and I can tell you're all out to get me. Well it won't work, my tin foil hat will protect me.

But will it protect you from the all-seeing eye?
Gary's avatar shows his smiling face, but for some unfortunate people the eye appears..

Yeah, relax. It is not a contest and you will not be graded. It will happen or it won't.

Gary, thank you for your patience in explaining your 6-8" relax method. I finally cracked it; I now get all the depth to the stereograms that I have been missing.
My eyes are no longer crossed.
Which reminds me of the Daily Mirror's Perishers & Baby Grumpling's soft toy, Gladly. Gladly was his cross-eyed bear, a mondegreen of "Gladly, the cross I'd bear" hymnal lyrics.
You would have particularly liked the "Eyeballs in the Sky" crabs, Gary, with your fondness for eyeball avatars.

Yes, with crossed eyes our stereograms go inward instead of outward Converging vs Diverging). My mom used to tell me about Gladly the cross-eyed bear when I was a young pup.

Ah! I'd forgotten about Boot & the Eyeballs in the Sky annual revisit. We named one of our dogs after him ;)
