I went to Disney World and ended up diagnosing cartoon characters. From Mike Wazowski’s lack of depth perception to Goofy’s questionable eye anatomy and Winnie the Pooh’s all pupil, no iris situation, I’m breaking down which Disney characters would absolutely fail a vision test. Plus, a quick dive into a real breakthrough from Stanford that might help restore sight lost to macular degeneration. It’s ophthalmology meets Disney meets mild existential crisis. What more could you want?
Takeaways:
Why Mike Wazowski’s single eye means he’s missing half the picture.
The serious ocular condition Goofy might secretly have (and why glasses won’t fix it).
Why Edna Mode needs cataract surgery yesterday.
How Pixar’s signature huge eyes would actually mean extreme myopia.
The surprising Disney character who might have the healthiest eyes of them all.
