Wall-eyed \Wall"-eyed`\, a. [Icel. valdeyg[eth]r, or vagleygr;
fr. vagl a beam, a beam in the eye (akin to Sw. vagel a
roost, a perch, a sty in the eye) + eygr having eyes (from
auga eye). See {Eye}.]
Having an eye of a very light gray or whitish color. --Booth.
Note: Shakespeare, in using wall-eyed as a term of reproach
(as ``wall-eyed rage,'' a ``wall-eyed wretch''),
alludes probably to the idea of unnatural or distorted
vision. See the Note under {Wall-eye}. It is an eye
which is utterly and incurably perverted, an eye that
knows no pity.
