I’ve read the answers here and they all make sense but I’m going to phrase it slightly differently. Our eyes are independent, controlled by separate muscles, connected by separate nerves. Each eye is capable of looking around, can one learn to control them independently…?

To use a computer analogy, can one learn to access the lower level “point left eye” and “point right eye” functions instead of always relying on the “look at thing” higher level function?
