if you can't get it done in time, turn back the clock and pretend you did. That's a perfectly good solution when you're the visual system.

BTW, since a few people have brought it up: There's a great sci-fi novel by Peter Watts called Blindsight. In it humans encounter an alien race they call Scramblers, who can move very fast and precisely, and they exploit saccades.

because if they only move during saccades, we never see them moving. and since so much of our vision is based on just filling in what we think is there, if they stay out of the direct center of our vision, we'll just visually fill them in, like they were never there.

Check it out if you're into hard SF stories of first contact. It's got some really neat ideas about human vision, very unique aliens, the nature of conciousness, the future of humanity in the face of perfect VR, and vampires. (Really, it has "vampires", while still being hard-SF)

BTW, remember how I said "vertebrate eyes" up there? Guess who has eyes which are wired forwards instead of backwards (no have no blindspot), have an internal lens, and can even see polarization of light? our good friends the Cephalopods!pic.twitter.com/SOMT5CB2SY

I had a squint op as a child, and when doing a prismatic correction test you can put the largest prism in and my vision still won't line up. But because my brain has been doing it for 25 years, there's no appreciable impact on my vision. (Except 3D glasses - no helping there.)

yah! I had the same sort of single-eye vision for a long while. because of an injury around 7, my left eye was basically useless, and until I got glasses around 14, I basically just used my right eye for everything. It's amazing how quickly you stop noticing that.

Nah, that's a purely physical phenomenon involving the optics of curved surfaces. It's because of the angle of reflection of the lightpic.twitter.com/ELhwCk7IMO
