Having two eyes is certainly better than one, because with two eyes we can have atereo vision and the depth perception, which we cannot have with one eye. How come we have two eyes but only sees one of every thing?

Hi Mahesh! Is'nt this something we learned a highschool? We have two eyes. One is dominant, but without the other eye vision would be limited. We would lose depth perception, peripheral vision, and would have no back up when one eye is hurt or lost. If the eyes don't work together as intended you have problems. One of the most common is lazy eye where one eye is under utilized so it becomes weak and loses the ability to focus. If this is not corrected early on it becomes permanent, hinders proper vision and is a distraction to others.Two other common disorders are near sightedness (Myopia) and farsightedness (Hyperopia).Unlike horses, humans have two eyes located side-by-side in the front of their heads. Thanks to the close side-by-side positioning, each eye takes a view of the same area from a slightly different angle. The two eye views have plenty in common, but each eye picks up visual information the other doesn't.
