I have amblyopia—also known as lazy eye—which means I often see a bit of double vision—usually a sliver duplicated on the outside side of one of my eyes, even when I’m wearing contacts, and even though I don’t look like I have a lazy eye. My eyes definitely don’t work in concert and I’m told my 3D vision resembles what people see when they look at a postcard.

Finally, when I use binoculars, I use only one eyehole up to the non-lazy eye… So I’m wondering what exactly you normal people see out of binoculars? Is it like Looney Tunes?

    For film purposes though, it’s an excellent way to keep the image filling most of the screen and to communicate the subtle contextual implications of the character’s using binoculars rather than a telescope.

      Oh, for sure. I take no issue with its use in film to communicate what’s happening.
