I have this condition
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_syndrome

Doesn't really affect my life in any meaningful way, except when I get photographed from the 'wrong' side and look like a total boss-eyed fucker, which in truth, I suppose I am.

I can also do overhead kicks with incredible power and accuracy, and without any help from honda's, massive drugs, and/or supermodels.

Other than these traits I'm fairly average. I have 'talents', but I wouldn't say they're unusual.

Ha
Nice, does one eye just not move then or not move in one direction?

My left eye....
...Does not move left no matter how hard I try (and if I try hard it makes my head shake slightly and then I look even more fucked)

Me "My eye doesn't work"
Dr "look left, look right"
Me "I can't"
Dr "You have DUANES SYNDROME and you'll never fly a plane"
Me "Oh well"

Yay!
I have this as well! I'm slightly different in that it only affects my right eye when looking to the right. It doesn't look all the way to the left either, but its barely noticeable. You're right about the boss-eyed fucker thing. I used to have a real hang up about it until I realised that everyone else saw me that way, and, frankly if they don't care neither do I.

The only times it gets annoying is if I'm sat too near the front in the cinema - have to constantly move my head to see what is going on. Otherwise I completely forget about it until it comes to party tricks time.

Yeah...it's not a massive hassle really is it?
Nice to meet you fellow Duane's 'sufferer'.
