Stereoblindness (also stereo blindness) is the inability to see in 3D using stereo vision, resulting in inability to perceive stereoscopic depth by combining and comparing images from the two eyes. (There are other ways to perceive depth to partially compensate, such as movement parallax and image cues such as shadows, focal depth and geometric overlap.)
Individuals with only one eye always have this condition; the condition also results when two eyes do not work in proper concert.
It has been asserted that the Dutch painter Rembrandt may have been stereoblind, which would have aided him in flattening what he saw for the production of 2D works [1][2]. It has been said by scientists that more artists seem to have stereoblindness compared to people with stereo-acuteness (normal stereo vision) .[3]
