There would be no need to. We use both eyes to gauge distance and reference the whole environment. We wouldn’t be assessing our left and right at the same time that’s what peripheral vision is for, and I believe I had an anatomy instructor tell me women have better peripheral vision. Which makes sense to me as more than one child around requires eyes in the back of your head if you want them to survive!
