So...Sue Barry, author of Fixing My Gaze, has addressed this question. If someone with binocular vision closes one eye, they actually are not approximating what a stereoblind person sees. The reason for this is that those with binocular vision can close an eye, but still retain the fact that they have experienced binocular vision. So their brain sort of fills in the gaps.
The person with monocular vision does not have that benefit, so it's a poor approximation.

I've been on 50 mg Zoloft for just over a year. I have a history of depression but had never taken meds until after my son was born and I experienced some ppd. I feel just sort of...flat...on Zoloft. Like no crying spells, but almost robotic and numb in some ways. Would I be apt to have the same response on another SSRI? Is this common?
Is it true SSRIs can cause bruxism? My primary care physician blames the Zoloft for my sudden teeth grinding that started around the same time.

I have exotropia also, so I live in your world. Just wanted to say, it's a bit inaccurate to say we have no "depth perception." We have no binocular vision. We are at a disadvantage compared to those who have binocular vision--but there are monocular depth perception cues, too.
