Various eye conditions can cause binocular vision issues. People can be unaware of a mild condition. They can have 20/20 vision. Have you taken any binocular vision tests? Eg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worth_4_dot_test https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worth_4_dot_test
It’s why I can’t see stereograms. In normal vision my brain gives up. I only see through my left eye. The neurological strain of convergence is over a threshold and my brain decides to just use one eye. If I cover my left eye, then I see through my right eye. It’s particularly annoying as my left eye has worse vision, with two other later developed conditions.
A small grace is that I believe it improves my photography. People say I have a “good eye”. Ironic. You may have noticed people often squint, close an eye, or tilt their head when framing. This is to disturb depth perception and better predict a 2D rendering. It’s just how I see.
I’m also very clumsy. Maybe that’s why. It’s hard to evaluate causation.
Get your eyes tested for this …
- leviathant 5y agoIt's been a very long time since I've done any vision tests, but I remember something like that, and I'd passed all my vision tests with flying colors - admittedly, that was over two decades ago. I definitely process vision from both of my eyes, but it's kind of difficult to describe. It's almost like there's kind of an overlay between the two scenes outside of the focal point - but it's not nearly as distracting or disorienting as that sounds. I'm getting all the data, I'm just not assembling it correctly. The small grace for me is that traditional 3D shooters never made me feel disoriented. However, when I tried Half Life 2 on an early Oculus Rift, I got simulation sickness pretty bad - felt nauseous for a good 45 minutes after playing for about 5 minutes :|
