    I’m one of the stereo blind. I was kind of glad when I found out from the eye doctor. It explained why I could rarely catch a baseball without getting hit.

      So depending on why you might be able to train it. If you don’t have a lazy eye and have good vision you may want to look into it.

      If your brain is just not fusing two good images there is a good chance you can train it to do so. Having done experiments in this field I can tell you it makes a measurable difference in performance.

      A good read on the subject is below. The part where she first sees a tree in 3D is a good example of what you are missing.
