i would argue that we don't see in any dimension, at least in terms of the physical capacity of the eye. we just take in varying wavelengths of light and those have no intrinsic dimensionality to them per se. the actual manifestation of dimensionality is, at least in my opinion, merely a construct of the brain. while I think it's accurate to represent reality as a multidimensional thing mathematically and formally, i don't know if dimensionality is an intrinsic feature of it or just a way of categorizing our concept and experience of it. either way, the fact of the matter is that the eye merely takes in raw photons and passing messages on to the brain based on the frequency and intensity of the light, and after saying that i suppose i would be willing to admit that the core nature of light and waves in general is two dimensional, since a wave is defined in terms of frequency and amplitude.
