I remember taking that exact test in the 1980s. Memories! 🥰 My ophthalmologist was Dr. Marshal Parks, “father of pediatric ophthalmology.”

[michelledavis]

I was born with a lot of eye issues, one of them being a total lack of depth perception. I remember going to eye doctors when I was younger and looking at this exact test and the doctor asking me what I saw. My mind was blown when I heard that everything didn't look flat to most people lol I just can't even perceive what seeing depth would even look like.

Therapy works.
I now read 20/20 on my Snellen.

My husband teases me when I drive cause I have trouble judging distance and take my time at stop signs cause I find it hard to tell when it's safe to go when a car is coming towards me. My depth perception is so bad. Now I understand why 3d movies where never fun to watch

[otiebrown]

Always good to see your efforts!
Hope for success!
Now back to 20/20.
Thank you!

So what I'm hearing in if your a small child and you have bad depth perception you can't enjoy pop up books

[zachpeterson]

so I have amazing depth perception until something separates my eyes (such as 3d glasses or a test machine) then I can't give images, I just see two separate images at the same time...

[yourenotamanofculture]

I have depth perception which is also a condition that makes on pupil bigger then the other causing a object to come at you faster in one eye then the other

[michellesunshinestar]

I was just diagnosed with poor depth perception. I'm good at judging most things, but I can't do sports.

[imperialrook]

I just took this test at a physical and only got the first one

[MsLhuntMartinez]

When I first started driving I almost was almost impaled by a pole hanging out the back of the flat bed of a truck (it was at a complete stop).
I give sloppy High5's, im always bumping into doorways, and when I text (like now) I have trouble gaging how close the screen is so I will stop short of touching it or hitting it with too much pressure thinking the screen is further away SHRUGS

If I have lack of depth perception then what should I do to cure or train them

[jacobjoyce]

My eye doctor said I have very bad depth perception. But I can see 3d fine, I can catch a football just fine (I play wide receiver in football). I don't understand this

[mikehitsiniwanhaud]

people are lacking to realize if your depth perception is way off that it affects your visual working memory and you can forget things that you just looked at, that was just read or explained or watched. which then makes ppl feel like they are dumb or have some type of learning disability and it's not it is because their depth perception is causing their visual working memory not to work

[joana]

I had trauma in my right eye and now I can only see with my left. My depth perception is way off and I'm just now realizing 5 years later. It's scary for me to hike down a mountain. I literally have to lay my whole body down to the floor. It's crazy I feel so silly

[beismarck]

Pregunta ! .... Yo siempre e tenido una buena visión. Más Cuando hago el test de randot, se me dificulta ver cual de los círculos es el flotante, llego hasta en 3 . en la opinión profesional, de ustedes creen que debería seguir conduciendo ?... Soy conductor de vehículos pesados, cero accidentes se que hago bien mi labor tanto de día como de noche, pero hace poco en una revisión empresarial, la doctora que me vio me dijo que tenia problemas de profundidad. Al dia siguiente solicite una cita con mi oftalmologo de cabecera y me hizo nuevamente el test me dijo que para mi edad "53 años " veo muy bien. que debo hacer ?... Gracias

[lawdog]

I failed the test even though I have good vision.

[weezk]

Are those 3D glasses? Do people without Depth Perception see anything while using 3d glasses? Or it's not possible?

[josephcastro]

Can you fix depth perception ? I’m trying to pass my medical exam for an law enforcement agency. Is there such thing has contacts ?

[gamingwithkev]

a neurologist told me this years ago and I was supposed to get an mri I left because they took wsy too long.
