I wonder why evolution hasn't made it possible to blink with each eye separately, so that no information is lost.

- nudded 17y agoand what if something interesting happens in the line of sight only visible to the eye you just blinked with? if you blink with both eyes, you are sure you missed something, if you only blink with one at the time, you will never know if you missed something. (and besides only blinking with one eye at the time would look kinda silly :)
- wglb 17y agoNow that is really an interesting question. I wonder if blinking with one eye would be disruptive to the sterovision that is going on. An interesting test would be to train oneself to blink one eye at a time.
- mahmud 17y agoI think you answered yourself: stereovision support. The mental context-switch needed to go from stereo to mono to stereo again is probably more expensive than just going from stereo to nothing and back to stereo. I just tried it and closing one eye at a time made me sorta dizy. (disclaimer: not a trained eyetician ;-)
