Looks like I'll have to look for studies of distance perception in one-eyed humans, in addition to everything else. And walk around for a while with one eye closed myself.
I don't have stereoscopic vision unless I'm wearing glasses. (One eye nearsighted, one eye farsighted). There's this weird mental lurch when I put my glasses on and everything jumps into 3-D...
While Maryland required me to wear my glasses to drive, neither Delaware nor Washington State tests the eyes separately, so it's been years since I've been forced to wear my glasses for any particular activity.
The brain adapts by considering a variety of circumstantial clues - relative sizes, atmospheric blurring, parallax, prior knowledge, eclipsing, etc. I don't know of any scientific studies of the matter, though. (Sounds like a job for medline...)
