Yes, that's the part that Urks me... I have been mentioning a "depth 
perception" problem to the docs and they kept saying it's her cognitive 
impairment.  The vision consultant said she does have a depth perception 
problem because her left eye shuts off periodically.  She has nystagmus as 
well as 20/80 vision.  Plus torticollis and she favors her right eye.  So 
occasionally her left eye shuts off and you need both eyes to percieve depth.
