Funny. I also have strabismus and I've never, ever been able to see those hidden picture games or these things even once.

I never developed stereoscopic depth perception, which I assume is related.



Same here, i've always wondered what other people see. An optometrist once said that I see everything as if viewing a tv screen through my eyes, but having no point of reference it looks normal to me. I am pretty bad at parallel parking though, perhaps that's my lack of 'native' depth perception.


The Toyota Bird's Eye View/BMW Surround View/etc makes it much, much easier.


yea same boat. I've always wondered what normal depth perception looks like. On the plus side, it is fun to challenge people to wear an eye patch and play table tennis or some other activity and see how bad they are when they haven't developed monocular depth perception cues.
