[QUOTE=S2020,May 12 2008, 01:05 PM]the lazy eye (the technical term is amblyopia) does not enable the individual to see any more peripherally than an orthotropic (straight eye) individual.
Primogen is mostly correct.

So Chuck Norris wouldn't have harder time scoring a solid round house kick on these people?
Chuck Norris does not have a problem round house kick anybody, lazy eye or not.
don't be doubting Chuck.
In fact, you may already be dead before I post this, in which case.... I'm very very sorry, Mr. Norris, for even replying to Gymkata.

Chuck Norris could never have a lazy eye. Nothing about Chuck Norris could ever be lazy because then he would have to roundhouse kick himself. And he could totally do that. But he'll never have to.

A girl at my office has a lazy eye and we all find ourselves looking where the eye looks a lot even though we know she has a lazy eye. It's distracting because it seems like she's not paying attention sometimes, or that you might be missing out on something awesome...over there.
When my eyes get very fatigued, one of them goes lazy. basically I don't even use that eye at that point and if I cover it with my hand I don't see any differently than when it's uncovered.
In terms of depth perception, it's really not an issue. Our brains process so much info so quickly that you subconsciously determine distances based on size of adjacent items, your experience from there in the past, etc. A professional basketball player knows the feel of taking a shot from anywhere on that half of the court and should actually remember subconsciously by feel how hard to shoot the ball.

stuart scott does not have a lazy eye. one of them is fake. a football launched from one of those throwing machines hit him in the head/eye during a draft camp.
but to the OP, i don think the lazy eye helps, but look...
i think steve nash's eyes are spaced .5 to 1 cm further apart than normal peoples eyes. he probably really does have increased peripheral vision, thus enabling him to see more passing lanes.
