Best Answer

It doesn't "improve" your vision.

It allows you to see the real world in 3D - i.e. depth.

Since primate eyes have a large overlap in field of vision, most of your world is 3D.

What is considered perfect vision?

It is a common misconception that 20/20 is perfect vision. In reality, having 20/20 visions means that you can see from 20 feet what a normal person can see from 20 feet. 20/15 vision means you can see from 20 feet what a normal person can see from 15 feet. Perfect vision means that your eyes perform the following processes perfectly: 1. Refraction of light 2. Accommodation of the lens 3. Constriction/dilation of the pupil 4. Convergence of the eye


Why do we have to eyes?

I'm guessing that you are asking why we have TWO (2) eyes? IF that's your question, then the reason is to have the ability to use binocular vision. This means that the information from both eyes overlaps somewhat and allows you to be able to appreciate dimension (see 3D). You'll notice that all animals that are predators (humans included) have both eyes facing forward. (Even hawks and eagles have their eyes pointing mostly forward) That's because when you are using binocular vision, you can tell how far something is away from you.

How many eyes does a deer have?

Deer are very attuned to motion but they do not have good visual accuity because their eyes lack foveas (no sharp, central vision). Their pupils are horizontally wide and their eyes are on the sides of their heads which provides nearly 360-degree visual range. They have no color vision but they can detect blaze orange on hunters because it is more reflective than the background.
