      We do receives two separate images from both eyes…but our brain cleverly combines them together to make a single image that we see. This happens in the image processing part of the brain called the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe (back of the brain).
      .
      Even more interesting is that our eyes actually see upside down! 👀 As light comes in to the eye, it bends so it sees things upside down. Our brain turns it up the right way before we realise though!
