A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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).

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed

I see slightly more blurry with my left eye, but whenever I put on my glasses, the effect reverses and the right eye sees worse. My prescription is the same in both eyes. Is my prescription wrong, and do I need different ones in each eye instead?
