Re: Digest 2102, Weird Eyes

[P3D <Gregg_Podnar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Concerning stereopsis with one near-focus eye, and one far-focus eye.
The Cleveland Clinic Foundation ophthalmology department has recently
been testing distance stereopsis of patients who have this situation
(typically due to a recent procedure).  Early evidence indicates that
there is stereopsis at far as well as near.  This says nothing about
individuals who have been unable to accommodate both eyes from birth.

My experience with stereoscopic video viewing systems shows that depth
can be perceived even when one camera is out of focus.  Also that the
sharpest image tends to dominate the experience, and that many viewers
do not notice that one eye is out of focus.
