What a spendidly well written post - thanks for your contribution.

I've read that if Stabismus isn't corrected in a child by a certain
age that the brain pathways which process stereoscopic information
may not be formed.

I have an aunt who is like this.  It would be interesting to try to
play around with her eyes (or my images more like) to see if manually
registering the images with her eyes would invoke some stereoscopic 
sensation.

It is interesting that Mark, even though he's presumably never 
seen the world in stereo, can still see stereo now (through a viewer)...

Cheers,
Andrew.
