It has been proven that stereo vision only aids in depth perception within 30 feet. Past 30 feet, light rays enter the eye nearly parallel, so both images are pretty much the same. Within 30 feet, I have never had a problem until I was specifically tested for depth perception.
I understand that - but you'll also be put into situations that you've never been in before and the consequences of faulty depth perception could be more hazardous than a dropped popped fly. I was disqualified 7 times for a medical and never gave up - so I understand the persistence that others are giving you for advice - but I also want you to understand that there may be limitations that are there for a reason.
