   That would be me.  I couldn't focus my good eye beyond about a foot from   
   my face until I was twelve and got glasses.  The other eye focussed to   
   about four inches, and I never developed 3-D vision because I couldn't   
   use both of them until it was too late.   
      
   I got fascinated with photography as a child because pictures were so   
   much sharper than the real world.  I never lost that fascination (and   
   I do still have that f/64 obsession with sharpness).   
      
   My wife noticed a few years ago that I don't really recognize people's   
   faces as easily as I recognize their voices.
