I SEE what you are saying!

Pam,
Welcome and a warm hello to you!

I hear you on depth perception. With a diabetes related vision confundrum, I had to have vitrectomies on both eyes removing the clear vitrious gel in the center to do lazer surgery on the retina and to remove blood that leaked, etc., etc. (you know, the usual stuff for eye surgery)

My right eye is 20/20 after the work. My left eye had the surgery a few years later which made it better, but images weren't as big for some reason as the other eye and not as clear.
Once I was using a magnifying glass to clean a cd player, I jokingly used it on the "bad" eye.... All of a sudden, it made the image seem as large as my good eye would see! l was then, walking around the room looking at things as if they were jumping out at me!!! <= that's what my eyes were doing! It was exciting (not quite x-ray vision exciting, but pretty close) Seeing in 3D is the real deal.
I ended up getting a pair of reading glasses and popping out the one lens for my good eye and wha-la, I could see almost perfectly My current glasses have a plano for my right eye and a 3x magnification for the other.
This definitely helps for driving, bike riding and Frisbee or "discgolf"!!! Ha, it's easier judging the distance throwing the disc at the basket. At times being tired, I get the double vision, that's a pain - concentration corrects it.

Have you seen the new vision program that's available from Paths now???? I'm going to check that out soon. I'm looking forward to my eyes being even better and tossing the glasses. he he.

I wish you the best.

Sincerely,
Doug

Upon further review, I realized this is the Synchronicity thread... Geepers! I saw Pam's post a few days back and didn't get a chance respond and that was on another thread -- oh well ...
