  3. It gives a binocular image in which to compare and to detect faint objects.
  4. It gives a stereo parallax with two eyes in a slight different position and angle on the head to simulate depth perception.

This is what called as stereopsis. This the reason why human being has two eyes instead of one eye. ... Only withtwo eyes, you could enjoy larger field of vision and most importantly, depth of vision, binocular vision and stereopsis.
