The successful teaming of the two eyes allows us to see in 3 dimensions (3D) – depth, height & width – with precision. 3D vision is used when you or your children are crossing the road, while driving, playing sports, and so on.Go through the following checklist. If you have some or all of the signs & symptoms, visit your optometrist at Menara Optometry nearest outlet.
