Except when it doesn't! For a while there when I was having my ADEM attack in 2007, evoked potential testing showed that one of my eyes was reporting about 30 milliseconds behind the other one, which made perceiving anything with both eyes at once an... interesting... experience. I imagine if you were watching something using that 3D technology that involves polarized flickering and the timing on one of your lenses was screwed up, the sensation would be similar.

Also, here's a fun science fact: your peripheral vision isn't even in color! You only think it is because if you notice something interesting over there, you'll turn to look at it properly and then see what color it is.
