Ah, this is fodder for another one of those never-ending opinion-fests...
but, I believe they DO! (use "circle of confusion").
Using just one eye, you know what is closer or farther away because,
among other things, you need to re-focus when you look elsewhere along
the Z-axis.
Part of the subtle beauty of the human mechanism is that we "know" not only
that we are re-focusing, but whether we are focusing closer or farther.
This re-focusing is triggered by the existence of the "circle of
confusion" if we look at something which is out of focus.
Come to think of it, I've noticed that more and more things have
gotten out of focus. Do you suppose that is yet another effect
of nuclear testing or over-population or ozone depletion or chemicals
in the water supply? I've never seen so many out of focus things as there
seem to be around these days...
...and the medication doesn't help that.
