  • Can glasses improve depth perception with only one seeing eye?


    Question:

    Can prescription glasses help with depth perception when you have vision in only one eye?


    Answer:

    While good vision with both eyes (binocular vision) is required for true depth perception, individuals with only one good seeing eye can still have some depth perception. Prescription glasses won't improve depth perception, but are important for some people to see their best. For individuals with only one good seeing eye, wearing glasses is also recommended as a form of eye protection.
