why do we have 2 eyes, but we can only see one thing?

[JadenOP]

eyes are werid.

[BlackBloodGhost]

Having two eyes enables you to have full and proper depth perception, in addition to also being a good spare should an eye fail.

It also enables you to take in greater detail and a whole host of other reasons :-).

Binocular vision helps to determine distance.
However, if evolution were to kick in any time soon we'd be merging them into a sonic-the-hedgehog mono-eye due to only looking at things on a 2D monitor.

How the brain processes binocular optical nerve impulses is, indeed, very weird.

It's why images in mirrors are flipped left-to-right but not top-to-bottom.

The eyes are weird . I have no explanation for vision, nor want anything to do with vision research. The whole thing makes me uneasy. I'd rather research the universe than vision.

It's actually opposite. Eyes are moving further apart.

Can't wait for my third eye then.

[DoomsDay]

if it is about depth,it doesnt work so well on me.i am shallow with words,and all that.
anyway,i would like to have 2 eyes,no more no less.

You can see more things. If you hurt your head for example

[Pocahawtness]

Pretty clever, isn't it?

[Irene ❤]

Because both eyes view woards the same direction, a FOV of just 135 degrees 180 max.

Bok boks are superior. They can see the world at see 300 degrees. They have 4 types of cones that let them see red, blue, and green light, as well as ultraviolet light.

Compare to boks we are semi blind.

men have three, but can't see out of one of them.

[Nülliflower]

you need to have a spare eye in case you accidentally carve one of them out with a key or something.

But women can see from their third eye?
Where do they hide it?

Is that where the expression "Eyes on the back of their head" came from? (see, I wasn't being lewd)

[skOsH♥]

Vision doesn't really interest me.

Visions, on the other hand, do.

Well, vivid dreams, as visions. No insights into the future just fun engagement that feels like days

Edit: Meditations that actually go somewhere as well.

The other day I tricked myself into envisioning myself in the third person so I could have an OBE. It worked. Only could maintain it for a couple minutes

How does Garret fit into this?
It's like he has two and a half eyes.
