My favorite lazy eye story is of when Miles Davis meet brazillian musician Hermeto Pascoal. Davis loved to box and decided to take on Pascoal in a friendly match.

He was a big fellow so could take a punch, he had determination so was more than willing to give it his all... now look up an image of Pascoal and you will see why this match would have been so fun to watch. He had a very lazy eye so when it comes to boxing Miles couldn't tell where he was looking so he had no idea were the next punch was coming from.

What looked like a disadvantage to some become his greatest asset in this situation. Because of this Miles called him 'The mad Albino', mind you, he also called him "the most impressive musician in the world". So there was that.
