Exact cause behind this should be diagnosed and treated.

Hi,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic,
Stereoscopic vision and depth perception testing is important in identifying diseases such as Amblyopia, Strabismus, Suppression and Stereopsis. Depth Perception is also known as stereopsis.
Stereo-vision is how each eye may see an object from different angles, but when combined, these angles give us a 3D image.
Poor depth perception, could be caused by a number of eye diseases and conditions, i.e.
Strabismus, Muscle weakness, Amblyopia, Optic Nerve Hypoplasia.. People with normal binocular vision (vision created by two separate eyes working together to form a single image) can perceive the depth and distance of objects.
Treatment goal for the problem depends on identifying the cause behind this at first. Any specific treatment could only follow a thorough comprehensive eye examination by an ophthalmologist (perhaps getting another appointment from a different Ophthalmologist earlier than this could help).
Please feel free to ask further.
Thanks
Could glasses potentially correct this problem? And do you know if the military would accept glasses? He is not a pilot but will be in the aircraft.

Hi again,
As already told by me cause of the problem is to be ruled out,And treatment will be done accordingly.For example suppose if there is nerve damage in that case glasses can't help as problem is with nerve and not in lens.
Physical fitness standards of military usually are a bit high and depth perception is very important when it comes to shooting and firing.I don't think military will be fit for him.
Yes he can work as a flight attendant on air craft.
