...perception affected? A boy I met today only had vision in one eye. He was born with a left eye that had a cataract [or something along those lines] so was basically half blind. That made me curious--if doctors somehow found a "cure" for his blindness and corrected the eye, how would it affect his vision? Clearly from that point on he'd have an expanded field of vision, and would then have much, much more depth perception. However, is there any way that that could also affect him negatively? For example, I've read stories about people born blind who, upon getting their vision corrected, could not understand the colors and their surroundings. Since he'd grown up with that with one eye, that'd probably not be the problem-- but is there any way the increased depth perception would throw him off, and make it more difficult for him to see? You know, things would not focus, or anything along those lines?
