I'm really determined to make Relic feel better about himself as I think he's awesome! (you're pretty awesome too! ) How come you don't see in 3D???

Well, I'm in customer support, so I pop in when I can too. Totally understand that. As for seeing in 3D, I don't have depth perception. When I was younger, maybe 10, I had cross-sight vision. I was an Army brat then and we had military doctors. Well, they performed surgery on my eyes to correct this (tightened muscles), but never checked to see if my eyes were working together. Well, needless to say, they weren't. I didn't even know that I was 3D deficient until I was 17 and was getting an eye checkup and one of my eyes was getting weaker than the other. The doctor (not military) went on a hunch and gave me a depth perception test. It was a picture of a bee. When he pulled it out, my mom jumped back. I just saw a picture of a bee. Well, ever since then, any tests that come up that test depth perception, I have to imagine what it is that I "SHOULD" be seeing. Like with the driver's license people and stuff. I just take the chart on the left and look at the chart on the right, see what super-imposes in the middle and mentally construct a 3D image that I figure they see. As for the military, it was something similar too. Anyways, that's my story. When I was 17, they told me that it would be very difficult, time consuming, and cost a lot of money to get my eyes corrected (if they could be). Well, I didn't want to move again (as I had moved countless times being an Army brat), nor did I want to burden my mom with the financial worries that would occur because of it. When I was in the military, they gave me these glasses that was supposed to help me see 3D, but it mostly made me feel dizzy. Felt like I was walking through a fishbowl. I just adapt, conqueor, and overcome whatever difficulties arise because of the 3D deficit.
