I have Strabismus, had 5 surgeries that fixed it enough to where it's not "so" obvious, but because it wasn't corrected in time, I am forced to "choose" which eye I want to look out of. I don't have the ability to look out of both eyes at the same time, I have to choose one. So is this why I can never see the 3-D imagine on those "Magic Eye" pictures? Do you have to use 2 eyes together to see the imagine? Also, I am unable to see 3D images in movies (ie: Jaws) with those plastic glasse- I can only choose if I want to watch the movie with a red tint or a blue tint! Also, I am 28... Can I train my brain to use both eyes at the same time? It seems so impossible. Thanks for any advice!!
The doctor had my daughter wear a patch over her best eye and that made and strengthen the bad eye to see more. I think she wore the patch every day for two months. Take it off at bedtime. In two months the dr. could see an inprovement she went with out it for a month and wore it again for 2 mon. kept doing this untill the dr. told her she didn;t need the patch any more and she sees great now.

I have strabismus too. My eyes turn inward and I've had it all my life. Had one surgery with complications so I cannot have surgery ever again so I'm pretty much stuck "cross eyed" for life. I'm 24 now and I've been told that your brain learns how to process information from your eyes when your a little kid (before age 6 or 7). So I don't think theres much hope for us people in our 20's with this condition.
However in my case it wouldn't make a difference because my eyes are still crossed. Using both at once would give me double vision.

I support the two previous answers.
The chances of developing binocular fusion are, I'm afraid, very low.
And yes, that's why all methods of pure 3-d presentation don't work with you (and about 1 in 30 of the population at large. It's not rare.)
An investigation with a synoptophore at an ophthalmologist;'s binocular vision clinic could establish this one way or the other, but only pursue this if you are really bothered.
Later in life, having alternating vision can even be useful: you may never need bifocal or varifocal glasses.

"So is this why I can never see the 3-D imagine on those "Magic Eye" pictures? Do you have to use 2 eyes together to see the imagine?"
YES and YES.
"Can I train my brain to use both eyes at the same time?"
highly unlikely at age 28.

I have the exact same situation as you. The only difference is I had 3 surgeries. Cosmetically, my eyes are straight, but when I get tired, one eye will turn. Because I cannot use my eyes as a team, I can pick which eye I want to use. Due to that, my 3-D vision is severely limited...I can appreciate some depth perception, but very little. At this point, considering your age, little can be done to regain your binocular vision. Sometimes, vision therapy might be of some assistance. I am 33, and had my first surgery at 3. You learn to use monocular cues instead of binocular ones to appreciated depth (i.e. if one object covers another, it must be in front of it). I have 20/20 correctable vision in each eye, and hopefully you do to. I believe that is what is important. If the worst thing is that you can't see the Magic Eye pictures, then you are doing OK. It didn't affect me...I am an optometrist.
