Default Re: ask me about eyes

[ QUOTE ]
slim,

How is it that even though my left eye is noticeably poorer than my right eye, I can still see more clearly with both eyes than with just my right?

It seems clear that the brain is not simply "adding" the two images together; it is using the information from my left eye, even though it is poorer, to improve the view from the right. Any clue how that works?

You are using both eyes, not just the right.Even though your left eye is blurrier, it is still adding to the overall image bc it is seeing the object from a slightly different angle which the right eye cannot see. Tpgether, they make a 3D image.
