Strabismus, better known as crossed eye, is present in about 4% of children.  In those affected both eyes do not line up properly causing diplopia (double vision), amblyopia (lazy eye), and loss of vision in one or both eyes.   Since the brain receives conflicting information from the two eyes it often learns to disregard the weaker of the two, suppressing it.  This leads to a loss of depth perception and 3D vision.

It was long thought that once a person's brain had learned to suppress one of their eyes that they could only unlearn this suppression before a "critical age" of between 8 and 12 years old.  Only recently has it been shown that certain kinds of therapies (including video games) can actually treat amblyopia past adolescence, allowing for the possibility of restoring 3D vision in adults.
