My doctor told me that I only look out one eye at a time when looking in a distance and that I have monocular vision and not binocular vision.
I've found several websites that with stuff similar to this:
I've got 20/20 vision with corrective lenses in both eyes and I use both of them, but my doctor said I don't use them together to form 3D images.
He did say that my eyes work together at closer distances so I'm not sure what exactly he meant by that.
I'm planning on going to a specialist to get a better evaluation of my vision and to possibly start Vision Therapy to correct it, but if Vision Therapy fails, should I look into another profession?

If You've Got Stereo Vision, Count Your Blessings!
According to the web site of the American Academy of Opthalmology, September, 1996: "many occupations are not open to people who have good vision in one eye only [that means people without stereo vision]"
Here are a few examples of occupations that depend heavily on stereo vision:
Baseball player
Waitress
Driver
Architect
Surgeon
Dentist
