It should wreak havoc with my depth perception, but some automatic mechanism figured out other ways to deal with it (shadows, size changes...).

I had an 'accident' at a young age, fell over as a baby and sliced the nerve that controls my right eye muscles. The eye rolled up and I was effectively blind in that eye til the age of 5, then they operated and got it going again. By that time my vision had developed around non-binocular vision, but I never found out til I did an air force entrance physical and failed some stereoscopic tests.
If you ever go to an optometrist they have these metalic looking cards with some sort of raised surface people with depth perception see.
Wierd thing I can't figure out is sometimes when wearing VR headsets I do start to get some depth perception happening. Used to happen on my old VFX1. But then again I have real problems with binoculars, and the VFX1 was like a set of binoculars so maybe its something in that.
