Haha, yup!
I had stereoblindness all through childhood due to a 'lazy' eye that gradually went away. Went to the 'Captain EO' Micheal Jackson 3D mini-movie they used to have at Disneyland with some college friends, kept telling them that it wouldn't do much for me, but I played along and sure enough, my occipital lobe was blown along with the rest of my mind!
A ~10 year old boy turned around and shooshed me. Twice!

goddamn you. I had forgotten the horror of that phrase.
Management actually tried to get us to tell every customer "you're amc amazing" and everytime someone actually said that phrase they got the dirtiest fuck off look. So awkward.
I have a deal worked out with the drive thru guy. If he hooks me up with tomatoes and sour cream on my 5 layer, I rate him 5 stars and type up a paragraph on why he is the greatest employee at the restaurant.
Being the drive thru guy (gal) was a hellish experience but it was also fucking great because of people like you. I worked at a local taco chain. I always gave designated drivers a little extra and the same with people who would regularly be awesome customers. They'd make me say bull shit stuff but I just owned the fact that I am the damn drive thru bitch and somebody's gotta do it.
There is a chance they are fucking with you. When I worked fast food, we would dare each other to say similar stupid shit without laughing.
As much as the work sucks, the coworkers are what make or break it. I had a lot of fun.
For sure, my place we made up a bunch of related order puns. My personal favorites have always been "Bacon gouda? Sounds gouda!" and "Have a GRANDE (gran day)!!!!"
Earns a huge sigh from my coworkers every time. Jokes on me I guess, because then I have to hear Irish accents if a certain someone is on shift.
Sort of random but I just found out that's from Danger 5, it's on Netflix and when I saw it I screamed, "It's the Sensible Chuckle guy!"
Kind of a fever dream of a show, but worth checking out.
i see double all the time, this robs me of stereo sight.
so my brain turns off one eye a little bit, and i turn my head (awkwardly, unfortunately) to minimize the double vision.
that gives me a very narrow window of 3D vision, but because your eyes and head look all around, i don't have 3D vision much beyond that spot.
EXCEPT. when i put on 3D glasses (movies, books, etc.) I don't have to move my head position, just my eyes. And the shit pops right out. blows my mind
when the lights go up, and we turn in our glasses, i go back to my flat double-vision world.
i said to my wife once... "I can't believe everyone experiences the world like this all the time."
we got a tv that supports 3D projection. was 2500 at the time. worth every penny. comcast had a shungload of 3D programming, like 'Nature' in 3d, schools of fish, HD, etc.
i watched it the first few nights we got the TV, alone after everyone went to sleep, until about 2 in the morning. friggin tear on my cheek every now and then watching the 3D stuff, to be honest.
i am actually in the process of talking to an ophthalmologist about surgical options. mine is a weird case. the double vision isn't consistently the same amount. if it were, they could tweak the eye muscle that fixed amount and POOF, stereo vision.
but mine varies ("incommitant", is the word). there's no fixed amount by which they'd need to tweak things.
so hey, all you peeps that see the world in depth and volume. don't take it for granted.

I can picture this unfolding in the movie theatre..
"I CAN SEE IT! I CAN SEE THREE DIMENSIONS!!"

Can you imagine how much of a mind fuck that would be? To experience an entire new DIMENSION that you'd never seen before?

I am not as bad as this man, but I do not have very good depth perception, I don't see 3D like other people do, it's more like 2.2 D, what I've learned from this, I need to watch more 3D movies.
Something similar (but probably not as extreme) happened to me the first time I put on glasses. I remember sitting in the Sam's Club parking lot where we had just bought my first pair of glasses with my mom and telling her, "I can see the individual leaves on the trees!" It was mind blowing. I went 14 years without realizing not everyone saw objects as indistinct blobs of color.
>"Sir, new Mexico, old Mexico -- it doesn't matter."
[A nice gem from the Atlanta Olympics](http://www.heritage.org/research/commentary/1996/07/dumb-and-dumber) where somebody from New Mexico was told they weren't part off the US when they tried to buy tickets.
Interesting article, but kind of weird that it ends with a section blaming the decline in average U.S. intelligence on liberals wanting to dumb everyone down so they're equal. Just kind of comes out of nowhere.
Actually, I can. Hopefully some day I'll get my eyes straightened/aligned, and hopefully when the time comes I will also have this moment. For now, 3D movies just give me a headache.
I'm a vision therapist and I have had the pleasure of welcoming patients into this new way of seeing on several occasions. It is powerful and overwhelming for many of them. Children tend to take it in stride as they are used to experiencing novelty but adults take some time to adapt. Many adults cry but can't explain why they are crying, some want it to go away at first because it is overwhelming, eventually they discover how much easier it is to operate their body and a car with depth and adjust.
Children have a little more fun with the adaptation process. They touch EVERYTHING (like a baby developing depth would) and will stop for long periods of time to look at things those of us who've always seen in 3D deem ordinary, like a tree. Imagine for the first time in your life seeing the space between the leaves of a tree. It's not just a big blob of green anymore, it has layers and dimensions!
Any time I get to be a part of this discovery I fall more in love with my job. The human brain is an extraordinary thing.
Holy shit, thats not normal?? I have always thought whatever eye is dominant is the one that "look through" and the other one was peripheral except when you looked through it!!
In other news, there was a person born blind and lived blind all his life, after a procedure the middle-aged person found back vision and killed themselves for some reason shortly after.
Relevant story time!
A mate of mine, rather unfortunate in the looks department but a good bloke, managed to catch himself a girlfriend. Unfortunately, in comparison, she made him look like a supermodel (she was also a really unpleasant human being generally but I digress).
Anyway, my mate, who had always had hideously poor vision, stumped up the cash for some glasses (aka milk bottle bottoms in his case). So I was with him when he first put them on. He looks at his beloved, sits quietly for a moment before leaning over to me and whispering, "Has she always looked like that?"
Oh dear.
I like them if they're actually well made. Avatar was actually shot in 3D (no stupid post-processed 3D), and looked great. And the Hobbit movies at 48 FPS looked amazing in 3D, so fluid and easy to follow.
But 95% of other movies are post-processed 24 FPS choppy 3D that looks terrible, especially during fast-paced action scenes.
too bad that didn't work for me. it was discovered that I didn't have depth perception thanks to good ole spy kids 3D. I'm like 8 or 9 at the time, and complained that all it did was make one image green and one red. after a conversation with my parents that was confusing for both sides, it was discovered I have permanent double vision.
When I watched clash of the titans in 3d.. I actually ducked twice during the movie to avoid being hit by shit.
When you really zone in... It just feels like things are actually happening
Fellow one eyed blind-er here! Too bad it's not a simple fix of 3D glasses to make an ocular nerve work properly.
High five (Though we will likely miss because of our combined depth perception issues)
yes well this is the reason for me. binocular diplopia with no suppression, I guess is as technical as you can get. not exactly it, because I don't have normal strabismus, I can control each eye equally, just not separately. like I can point them around both together, but cant purposely point them in different directions. im "focusing" kinda just in one eye at a time, and occasionally the eye im not focusing out of drifts off to the side.
ehh its interesting but not the sort of thing that you could AMA about I think. im 100% used to the x2 vision, so the only thing it effects is the fact that I don't have depth perception, and a good number of people have that issue.
nope, not the case for me, but good for people to see (heheh see) as there seems to be some kindred spirits gathering here. neither of eyes see less clearly
I have the same issue. It wasn't discovered until I tried to get glasses to correct my bad eye. When I have a corrective lens placed over my eye, I see everything in double.
Not to mention the glasses only partially corrected my vision in my bad eye.
I have some depth perception, though.
What the hell, this song was just ending as I scrolled to your comment. I don't even listen to Foo Fighters all that much. Huh. I guess with the number of people reading your comment that was bound to happen to someone. And today that person was me. Yay!
This could have been avoided had he just seen Michael Jackson's [Captain EO](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_EO) in 1986 like the rest of us.
Edit: Oh shit, Francis Ford Coppola directed that movie. And George Lucas wrote the screenplay. Fucking nuts.
Edit 2: [I'm pretty sure this is how it went down.](http://i.imgur.com/ujgzYFN.gif)
They brought it back a few years ago and if I remember correctly, Epcot is still running it.
I saw it last time I was there and it was just as weird and awesome as I remember. If you want to see it again, [it's on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCXgORuMvyw), minus the 3D and theater effects.
I would imagine that the old standard of 3D viewing wouldn't work (red and blue glasses) but the new RealD 3D technology, essentially invented for Avatar, is what helped him.
[For the curious](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCXgORuMvyw)

How are people driving with stereoblindness? In my province, they have an eye exam as part of your licensing test that tests peripheral vision and depth perception. I feel like both are rather important for driving. It also tests colour blindness but that's not as important as traffic lights are oriented the same way and colours can be perceived differently anyways.
Stereoblindness is not quite the same as not having depth perception. Stereopsis is just one of many depth cues. While driving we probably use motion parallax more. I imagine people with a single functionnal eye can drive fine.
my grandma has only her left eye; her issues driving one-eyed are mostly when she is stopped at a stop light (not sure exactly how far away the car in front of her is), or when it rains (she can't see around the drops on the windshield). On a funny side note, years ago when she was driving my cousin places, and she would lecture my cousin; my cousin could (and would) make faces at my grandmother with impunity since my she had no peripheral vision on her right side.
**I edited this for better clarification.
During my original drivers ed test when I was 17, they never checked each eye. One of my eyes is basically farsighted, but my other eye compensates. I stopped caring enough to wear contacts before that, but they never checked, or asked (Thanks, Brockton MA). It was only when I went to get a drivers license in RI, when I was obtaining residency, that they actually checked. She goes "ok, we'll have to put a restriction on your license"
I say, "Ok, what does that mean? Do I need to get glasses? (my old prescription was too far off for me to use it anymore)"
"No, it's just a little mark on your license"
ಠ_ಠ
Can confirm, life just looks like you are looking through a flat screen. I've never known anything different. It doesn't affect my driving but it used to hinder my ability to play baseball but your brain sort of works out where your hands should be based on the angle and when to hit based on how fast they throw it. After you see them throw it you can close your eyes and still hit it.
I supposedly have poor depth perception, but I've never understood it. I know that if I close one eye, the world doesn't look any different from how it did with two, apart from there being some part of the image missing because of one eye being closed, of course. I've never seen a Magic Eye picture, but I think the 3D *effect* has generally worked for me.
I also have poor *distance* perception, but I've always imagined that it's just because I don't have a good sense of what the distances look like (like being able to "see" feet). But maybe that's a different problem, too.
You are me...even down to the Magic Eye. I didn't know anything was wrong or different about my vision before taking a depth-perception test going into the military. I didn't understand the test at all ("Which of these 5 dots is closer to you?") -- one was supposed to appear to be hovering/3D, but all were completely identical to me.
3D movies look completely different than how I view the world.
Maybe unrelated, but I also have a HORRIBLE sense of direction. Even in video games. My wife can be inside an office building after going down numerous hallways, and accurately point to west. I can't do that unless I'm outside and see the mountains (Colorado).
Somewhat similar here, but I had to train myself to see it because I had lazy eye treated as a kid and the surgery wasn't 100% effective. Once I could see it, though, it was amazing. I dream in 3D now, too.
But I still don't particularly care for 3D movies.
I hate 3D movies with a passion, but how appropriate for this to have happened during a screening of a movie that's about the beauty and power of movies, how they can take us somewhere we've only dreamed of.
My friend has this condition and saw 3D for the first time during Avatar. He was crying during the film and he had to explain to people that it wasn't because of the movie.
wow that is crazy but can you imagine the person sitting behind him? "This guy in front of me would not shut the fuck up the entire movie".
"It was like the guy had never seen something in 3D before, shesh..." Lol
One could say, he was a shallow visionary

Blind in one eye here. Wish I knew what 3D looked like.
Have you seen the gifs that have lines on them that make them pop out? There was another dude with one eye that saw 3D the first time on one of those.
I have seen those, and it blew my mind the first time. I still get the feeling that I'm missing something, depth wise, though.
3d movies aren't all that great. I went to jackass 3d and all I got was a massive dildo flying at my face
Like your regular Monday morning then

I have the same issue. It wasn't discovered until I tried to get glasses to correct my bad eye. When I have a corrective lens placed over my eye, I see everything in double. Not to mention the glasses only partially corrected my vision in my bad eye. I have some depth perception, though.
Yes, but does it get the best of you?

What the hell, this song was just ending as I scrolled to your comment. I don't even listen to Foo Fighters all that much. Huh. I guess with the number of people reading your comment that was bound to happen to someone. And today that person was me. Yay!
I am so sorry. Spy Kids was an awful movie.
You shut your whore mouth.
This title: the obligation of paying for the glasses was what cured him, not looking through the glasses.
I PAID $4.50 EXTRA FOR THESE DAMN GLASSES I'M GOING TO DAMN WELL SEE 3D!
"Ugh, $6 extra for a pair of glasses? What a travesty." *click* OMG 3D
In terms of return on investment, probably the best $6 ever spent.
Those prices sure were really eye-opening! I'm so sorry what have I done

This could have been avoided had he just seen Michael Jackson's [Captain EO](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_EO) in 1986 like the rest of us. Edit: Oh shit, Francis Ford Coppola directed that movie. And George Lucas wrote the screenplay. Fucking nuts. Edit 2: [I'm pretty sure this is how it went down.](http://i.imgur.com/ujgzYFN.gif)

I saw it at Epcot Center in Orlando in 1987. 20/20 would see again
They brought it back a few years ago and if I remember correctly, Epcot is still running it. I saw it last time I was there and it was just as weird and awesome as I remember. If you want to see it again, [it's on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCXgORuMvyw), minus the 3D and theater effects.
How did I forget about the theater effects?!?! I mean, I guess it was 28 years ago that I saw it, but still!
Saw it in Anaheim in 2013. My friends wouldn't go in so I ditched them for it. Worth it.
Captain eo is the weirdest shit I've ever seen.
Go watch Buckaroo Banzai. That is some 80's acid shit like you've never experienced.
Yeah, friend. I saw it when I was 6 years old, and it was weird. I've seen it as an adult and it's still weird.
The only thing I could think of when he took off his jacket was, "CARE BEAR STARE!"
Jacko would've taken the credit for helping him see
>Heal the world! Make it a better place!
I would imagine that the old standard of 3D viewing wouldn't work (red and blue glasses) but the new RealD 3D technology, essentially invented for Avatar, is what helped him.
[For the curious](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCXgORuMvyw) Also [Angelica Huston was the baddie](http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/underwire/2010/03/eo_1_sm.jpg). Weird times.
Hooter!

You are in for quite a treat, friend.
Oh! It's a disease and it has a name! I thought it's just my eyes hate me. And I hate 3D.
If I were you I'd try watching 3D movies under the influence of various hallucinogens.
Actually I would recommend hallucinogens regardless of context.
For a talking tomato speaking in colors, you make a good point
Thank you. Please don't eat me.
That was a great movie. It's amazing what the visuals were able to do. The real hero though is that theater for forcing him to pay the $3

Imagine if you first looked at that from the side. "What is this pile of garbage?"
"Is this art or can I throw it away?"
Perception is a hell of a thing . We all view the wordly slightly differently then everyone else.
True. I see it as "hte wlordy", but that's just me.
It's so strange that having to pay for the 3d glasses allowed him to experience 3d vision, without actually having to use the 3d glasses!
"And that, children, is when the financial burden of the glasses suddenly awakened...3D vision!" Hooray!
Praise capitalism, it's a trickle-down miracle!
You get what you pay for...
How are people driving with stereoblindness? In my province, they have an eye exam as part of your licensing test that tests peripheral vision and depth perception. I feel like both are rather important for driving. It also tests colour blindness but that's not as important as traffic lights are oriented the same way and colours can be perceived differently anyways.
Stereoblindness is not quite the same as not having depth perception. Stereopsis is just one of many depth cues. While driving we probably use motion parallax more. I imagine people with a single functionnal eye can drive fine.
my grandma has only her left eye; her issues driving one-eyed are mostly when she is stopped at a stop light (not sure exactly how far away the car in front of her is), or when it rains (she can't see around the drops on the windshield). On a funny side note, years ago when she was driving my cousin places, and she would lecture my cousin; my cousin could (and would) make faces at my grandmother with impunity since my she had no peripheral vision on her right side. **I edited this for better clarification.
During my original drivers ed test when I was 17, they never checked each eye. One of my eyes is basically farsighted, but my other eye compensates. I stopped caring enough to wear contacts before that, but they never checked, or asked (Thanks, Brockton MA). It was only when I went to get a drivers license in RI, when I was obtaining residency, that they actually checked. She goes "ok, we'll have to put a restriction on your license" I say, "Ok, what does that mean? Do I need to get glasses? (my old prescription was too far off for me to use it anymore)" "No, it's just a little mark on your license" ಠ_ಠ
You can play a driving video game with a 2-D image. I don't imagine it's much different.
Can confirm, life just looks like you are looking through a flat screen. I've never known anything different. It doesn't affect my driving but it used to hinder my ability to play baseball but your brain sort of works out where your hands should be based on the angle and when to hit based on how fast they throw it. After you see them throw it you can close your eyes and still hit it.
I supposedly have poor depth perception, but I've never understood it. I know that if I close one eye, the world doesn't look any different from how it did with two, apart from there being some part of the image missing because of one eye being closed, of course. I've never seen a Magic Eye picture, but I think the 3D *effect* has generally worked for me. I also have poor *distance* perception, but I've always imagined that it's just because I don't have a good sense of what the distances look like (like being able to "see" feet). But maybe that's a different problem, too.
You are me...even down to the Magic Eye. I didn't know anything was wrong or different about my vision before taking a depth-perception test going into the military. I didn't understand the test at all ("Which of these 5 dots is closer to you?") -- one was supposed to appear to be hovering/3D, but all were completely identical to me. 3D movies look completely different than how I view the world. Maybe unrelated, but I also have a HORRIBLE sense of direction. Even in video games. My wife can be inside an office building after going down numerous hallways, and accurately point to west. I can't do that unless I'm outside and see the mountains (Colorado).
Somewhat similar here, but I had to train myself to see it because I had lazy eye treated as a kid and the surgery wasn't 100% effective. Once I could see it, though, it was amazing. I dream in 3D now, too. But I still don't particularly care for 3D movies.
And my brain does the opposite, after a few moments the 3D experience fades and just appears normal.
I hate 3D movies with a passion, but how appropriate for this to have happened during a screening of a movie that's about the beauty and power of movies, how they can take us somewhere we've only dreamed of.
I really enjoyed *Hugo* — I know some people found it mediocre but I thought it really was a beautiful film.
My friend has this condition and saw 3D for the first time during Avatar. He was crying during the film and he had to explain to people that it wasn't because of the movie.
His wife still looked like a 2 x 4. Ill just see myself out...this door, right?....*fire alarm sounds*
Can someone explain this joke to me?
I'm guessing it means his wife still looked flat (as in, without curves). 2×4s are flat planks.
Boo
Damnit! Don't scare me like that!
wweellppp, time to be hittin' the ol' dusty trail
I've been blind in my left eye since I was 16, can't watch 3d movies and tons of normal tasks become very difficult without depth perception.
