3D, what's that.  I've known for many years, and a couple of eye
operations, that my 3D abilities were/are impaired.  A month ago I went
in for an eye exam, and the doc gave me a 3D perception test that I don't
think I've ever had before.  I was supposed to see one number stand out
in a row of numbers.  When I looked I thought he was kidding.  Absolutely
zero 3D perception.  My condition is called, variously:  Leading eye,
non-binocular vision, no depth perception, etc.  The weird thing is, 
I've compensated for the problem.  No problems with catch or any other 
eye coordination stuff.

The super bowl effects were noticable, however.
