I had similar experiences when I was a kid. That was back in the days before disposable lenses where you usually only had one set. I'd lose or destroy a lens and then only wear the remaining lens and the brain had the ability to take the sharp image and not use the blurry one.

I don't recall having any depth perception issues back then but that was a long time ago....

Are you speaking of regular glasses or contact lenses?

If you're speaking of contact lenses I wonder if the progressives are available for someone who has a stigmatism?
