I figured they did that so they could switch the hair over to the other side when they could see when they go down to mom's dark dark basement.

It's a common misconception that emos live in their parents' basements. Most emos actually live in ranch-style houses or apartments, and therefore have no basements in which to sulk. Instead, their solace comes from a blanket unceremoniously affixed to their bedroom window frame.

I wonder if this actually happened to any kids from the 80's?
Or if this eye doc bothered to check before coming out as an idiot.

Idiots. if you want to darken a room you tape aluminum foil to the windows, not a blanket.

We're talking about a group of people who actively look for reasons to be sad. I don't think common sense is within their purview.

I don't think that particular hair-do was really around in the '80's.
It's fairly recent I believe.

Oh great, a lazy eye thread.

As someone who has had to put up with having a lazy eye for 30 years, I can tell you the emo are not prepared to deal.

If only hipsters would start cutting themselves. Most emos I've encountered had arms that were totally wrecked with healed cuts and old burns.

Aluminum foil worked great for my college apartment without air conditioning

I'm not sure what Canadia was doing in the 80's, but when I was a kid hair over one eye was not uncommon at all. I did it, to my mother's warnings. Never bothered me.

Sure I did, that hair style just wasn't very prevalent in these parts (Toronto) in the 80s.
I remember seeing a few but not nearly as much as these days. I think maybe there are so many people walking around with hair like that because it got big with the emo crowd and then skipped right over to the the Bieber Generation.
A "Double Whammy", if you will.

Well....thinking back on those days I was pretty much wasted through that entire decade so I just may not have noticed, or forgotten. Now my curiosity is piqued.
I'm gonna have to ask a few friends about it so I can get some closure on this.

It may have happened to me. My right eye does not function as well as the left. I can only describe its vision as being like swiss cheese, but when you try to look at the hole --its gone. I've considered wearing an eye-patch over the good eye to try and force the other eye to catch up.

I gotta ask, and I apologize if this comes across as crass...

But do your sight pictures line up with mental balancing, or do you maintain two separate images you consciously have to manage?

Feh. Our elementary teachers were telling us that about long bangs in the early 70's. I don't think that is what caused my bad eyesight though.

But is that the hair style being sexy as hell, or just Olivia Wilde? Because there is much she can get away with.

Yeah, I came in here to say "repeat from 1985". I remember being warned that the bangs-over-one-eye style would screw with your vision but my eyes seemed to have survived the hairstyle. Back then it was big, big bangs, often, but not always, as part of a big, big style over all. Crimping or perming optional, backcombing mandatory. So much Final Net hairspray that when you finally washed it it came out in icky sticky balls. The eye-blocking bangs could be New Wave, Punk or Goth, depending on context and colour.

The preppy Big Bangs went straight up like a fin, often with matching side fins springing from the temples so when you saw a girl face on it looked like Big Hair, but when seen in profile, if she didn't use a mirror to attend to the volume at the back it was a thin, hilarious disk.

Oh the eighties.

A great subway memory...two emo boys and a girl in a tight group. The emos were trying to impress a girl by flipping the hair out of their eyes every five seconds or so....until one time they knocked their heads together. They looked sheepish, or as sheepish as emo twats can look.
