Binocular Vision
Binocular vision is the ability to perceive depth and three-dimensional structure using both eyes. Each eye captures a slightly different image due to their horizontal separation, and the brain combines these images to create a single, cohesive view. This process enhances our ability to judge distances and perceive spatial relationships.
The effectiveness of binocular vision relies on stereopsis, which is the brain's interpretation of the differences between the two images. This visual system is crucial for activities such as driving, playing sports, and any task that requires depth perception. Without binocular vision, our ability to navigate the world would be significantly impaired.
