The Daily Mail on top form:
A trendy hairstyle favoured by celebrities such as Justin Bieber*, Rihanna and Frankie Sandford could be damaging the eyesight of youngsters who copy them, an optometrist has claimed.
He warned those with the heavy side fringes that fall to one side of the face could develop ‘lazy eye’. Andrew Hogan said the fashion for asymmetrical haircuts started by ‘emo’, or ‘emotional rock’, musicians was to blame.
* Justin Bieber had a weird assymetric hairstyle for a year or two (which he has long abandoned anyway) but his fringe was nowhere near long enough to obscure his vision on one side; Rihanna changes her hairstyle daily, and to the extent she does lopsided fringe, she seems to do it on alternate sides; Frankie Sanford's fringe definitely hangs down perilously close to her right eye, but not actually over it all the time.
So epic fail on the old pop music general knowledge. Hopefully he knows more about eye care than about pop stars' hairstyles.
Sounds as if he's been reassured

My eyebrows get in my eyes. Does that count as trendy?
I suppose that we could test out Phil Oakey from the Human League to see if he has worst eyes than say, the lead singer of Flock of Seagulls.
"Hopefully he knows more about eye care than about pop stars' hairstyles."
I doubt it. I doubt that he knows anything about anything except how to turn "dog bites man" into "man bites dog" by being economical with the truth.
Lazy eye? Sounds like an Iggy Pop song.
