Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. A person with sight in only one eye lacks retinal disparity for seeing in depth. Depth perception is first produced by retinal disparity, that is, the difference between the images of the two eyes, from which this difference is transformed into depth perception or stereopsis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Retinal disparity is a binocular cue used to perceive depth between two near objects. It does so by comparing the different images from both retinas. Each eye receives different images because they are usually around two and half inches apart.

Detailed explanation-3: -In fact, many eye doctors have underestimated the time required to adjust to losing one eye, ” Dr. Whitaker said. But studies have shown that adults who lose the sight in one eye have declines in their abilities to accurately track moving objects, to judge distances, and to perceive depth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Humans can perceive depth when viewing with one eye, and even when viewing a two-dimensional picture of a three-dimensional scene. However, viewing a real scene with both eyes produces a more compelling three-dimensional experience of immersive space and tangible solid objects.
