why can’t we move our eyes outwards in opposite directions?
In: 21
As someone who spent many years in visual therapy because my eyes DO NOT move together- your brain makes images using both eyes together at the same time. So if you were to move your eyes in seperate directions like a rabbit, your brain is still trying to make one image but it’s getting different sensory data.
On a more realistic scale this looks like one eye not moving as fast as the other or it’s positioning on your head is a little above or below the other so the eyes are seeing from two seperate point of views which can cause blurred or double vision.
Also having two eyes positioned the way human eyes are positioned gives us our depth of field. While someone with only one seeing eye can have depth of field, it’s because their brain has learned how to do this versus being able to anatomically do it with the two inputs( both eyes)
I imagine rabbits have fine depth of field but they have a blind spot in the center of their vision (like us but bigger)
