Although losing an eye can affect depth perception, we have a number of monocular cues that enable us to retain a degree of depth perception even with only one eye - after all, if you close one eye, the world does not suddenly become flat!

For example, if we see two similar objects, one large and one small, our brain assumes the smaller one is further away. Or if we see one object superimposed over another, we assume that it is closer to us.

"Tricks" like these have been used by artists for centuries to give their paintings an impression of depth, despite being entirely 2D.

If your 10-year-old has been diagnosed with poor depth perception how can it be treated if it seems to be getting worse and what would be causing him to roll and bulge his eyes?

My recent loss of depth perception is attributed to pernicious (B-12) anemia. My body does not utilize/absorb B-12 properly and now I must have injections. Rolling the eyes??? I've always done that...as well as crossing my eyes easily. I am not sure...never really worried about it...I just thought it was related to a muscle weakness. Hope something here helps.

How does one use the word 'profoundly' in a sentence?

One could use the world profoundly in a sentence such as this, "Marsha's family felt the loss profoundly." Profoundly means to a great depth, so using that theory in the above sentence the family felt the loss to a great depth.
