Question 1

how does 3d vision work with one eye compared to two eyes?

Accepted Answer

Depends on both eyes: 3d vision depends on both eyes. The brain takes the inputs from both eyes and uses the different perspectives to create the 3d image with depth perception. If you go to a 3d movie you can get an idea of how this works. If you take your glasses off you can see that there are two images projected onto the screen that combine to create the illusion of depth.

Question 2

what eye diseases affect your 3d vision?

Accepted Answer

Several: If you have no vision or poor vision in one eye, then your true 3 d vision will be impaired.  If one eye is crossed looking out or in, then 3 d vision is likely to be impaired.  Your ophthalmologist can tell you what is the cause for you and measure your true degree of stereoscopic vision.

Question 3

how can i used 3-d glasses with only one eye?

Accepted Answer

You can't: You need both eyes for 3-d to work.

Question 4

is is possible for a person who is blind in one eye to see 3d movies?

Accepted Answer

Limited experience: Because such a person cannot appreciate true depth, the experience will be limited for such a person.  They can experience the movie, but not to its full extent.

Question 5

if you only have one good eye, can you see a 3d movie in 3d with those glasses?

Accepted Answer

No: 3-d vision is only possible with 2 eyes. The effect is caused by having each eye look at an image that is at a slightly different phase than the other eye's image. If you have only one seeing eye, you would see a clear image out of that eye with glasses, but not in 3-d (in much the same way that you cannot see 3-d normally with only 1 eye).

Question 6

do you think watching tv in 3-d daily is bad for your eyes?

Accepted Answer

No: Using your eyes in any visual activity will not hurt them.  

Besides 3-d is cool!

Question 7

can cross-eyed technique of seeing 3d images hurt your eyes?

Accepted Answer

Stereopsis: Crossing the eyes to improve stereopsis, aided by glasses or magnifier lenses, is usually done for such short time periods that it should not cause any damage to eyes.

Question 8

does having astigmatism in one eye prevent one from seeing in 3d?

Accepted Answer

No: As long as your eyes have good corrected vision with glasses or contacts, and they are aligned normally, then you should have depth perception ( 3d). Now how much depth perception you have depends on how good your visual system works.

Question 9

can someone blind in one eye see in 3d through the new 3d glasses?

Accepted Answer

Nope: 3d requires 2 eyes working together perfectly.

Question 10

will i have to pay extra for custom 3d glasses if i'm blind in one eye?

Accepted Answer

3d glasses: Depends on the insurance company and the medical necessity letter the doctor writes.
