WOW...whats bizarre is that an optomologist doesn't know what it is...thats what you said, right? If I were you I'd try another.

Oh, and no, thats not what Sanpaku eyes are. Sanpaku is when you see the whites around three sides of the eye ball. Like when your eyeball slips up into your head and its been known to also have the whites on TOP of the eyeballs (and sides) as well.
