Reply to comment by adventuringraw in The two retinas are tied/linked together in the brain. Are they tied 1:1, so that each retinal point corresponds to the same retinal point in the other eye? I.e., each retinal point from one eye shares the same binocular neuron with its counterpoint in the other eye? by ch1214ch
Thank you for this explanation.
It's blown my mind a bit - I have a servered optic nerve on my right side and it's amazing to think that my brain processes the left and right side of what I see with my remaining eye and then stitches the images together seamlessly.
Obviously I have no binocular vision which causes issues with close up depth perception.

Oh wow. Thanks for that.
The cut is definitely before the optic Chiasm. In fact, it's not far behind the eyeball so yeah, I'm a No.1
The accident happened when I was around six months old, so definitely still in the developmental stage. Now I'm wondering how my optics are wired 🤣
