    How Omnivision Works

    Normally, both of your eyes work together equally when you look at an object. This is called binocular vision. You probably have a dominant eye that your brain tends to favor for "sighting" (most right-handed people are right-eye dominant, for example).

    With omnivision, each eye is adjusted to have a slightly different focus point. One eye will see things close up, the other eye will see things farther away, and the brain will integrate the visual information from both and filter out any blur. You do not need to make any conscious adjustments. The brain usually adjusts within six to eight weeks to each eye focusing at a different distance.
