An autostereogram is a two-dimensional (2D) image that can create the optical illusion of a three-dimensional (3D) scene.
Can you see 3D scenes while looking at Magic Eye images like the one above?
Yes, easily
Yes, with some effort
Depends on the image
Nope
Nope & I begin to think I may be stereoblind
I know for a fact that I'm stereoblind
I have a different condition that makes me unable to see them

Leif & Thorn Q&A #137-139
Cyclopes are traditionally depicted as craftsmen (carpenters, blacksmiths, etc.), but modern interpretations could take account of the relative advantages and disadvantages of stereoblindness. Stereoblindness results in loss of depth perception, which would make precise 3-dimensional tasks like hammering nails and judging distances/lengths more difficult. However, researchers believe stereoblindness can result in a greater ability to accurately render 3D images on a 2D plane (indeed, many artists learn to render depth by closing one eye). A cyclops would therefore best adapted to 2D tasks like reading, writing, painting/drawing, checking identification cards or passport control, or art/film/TV criticism. If the cyclops is also a giant, they may be exceptionally good at mapmaking/cartography, as they would be capable of surveying large areas, and rendering the topographical relief.
For his birthday, McKinley Erves received glasses that allow him see colours more vibrantly.
Makes me wish I could see in 3D again so much :-/ Seeing in 3D made me feel exactly the same way as him... it was permanently life altering !
Curious: do any other stereoblind folk have trouble with touch screens?
I have no depth-perception. I constantly misjudge how far my finger is away from the screen and I usually tap a lot of air before I make contact. Also, if the screen is angled in any way, my perspective goes way off and I THINK I’m aiming for a button but miss completely, often hitting other buttons around it. At a touch pad kiosk, my friend saw me attempting to select a DVD rental a few years back and was quite aghast how bad my touch screen aim is. I was standing beside him so my angle to the screen was off, and therefore I was off.
And this is with corrective lenses.

“Rembrandt's poor stereovision may have been advantageous. Art students routinely learn to close one eye to replicate the three-dimensional world onto a flat medium with greater accuracy. Stereo blindness, or the inability to use the horizontal shift between our eyes to see in 3-D, can therefore aid artists in rendering the world in two dimensions. Livingstone and Conway went on to show that art students have poorer stereovision than students not majoring in arts and that the eyes of established artists have a more pronounced misalignment than the eyes of nonartists. Stereo blindness may not make you an artist—many established artists have normal stereovision, and most stereo blind people are not artists—but the early sketches of stereo blind artists may be more accurate than those of people with normal stereovision.”
Bruce Bridgeman lived with a flat view of the world, until a trip to the cinema unexpectedly rewired his brain to see the world in 3D. The question is how it happened. Good movies change people’s view of the world all the time, but how many can say a movie has fundamentally altered their vision forever? One person who can is Bruce Bridgeman. In terms of how he sees the world, there is life before Hugo, and life after Hugo. On 16 February this year, Bridgeman went to the theatre with his wife to see Martin Scorsese’s 3D family adventure. Like everyone else, he paid a surcharge for a pair of glasses, despite thinking they would be a complete waste of money. Bridgeman, a 67-year-old neuroscientist at the University of California in Santa Cruz, grew up nearly stereoblind, that is, without true perception of depth. “When we’d go out and people would look up and start discussing some bird in the tree, I would still be looking for the bird when they were finished,” he says. “For everybody else, the bird jumped out. But to me, it was just part of the background.” All that changed when the lights went down and the previews finished. Almost as soon as he began to watch the film, the characters leapt from the screen in a way he had never experienced. “It was just literally like a whole new dimension of sight. Exciting,” says Bridgeman. (via BBC - Future - Health - How a movie changed one man’s vision forever)
