If you can see what it is, you're good to go. I swear I use the same technique for that test as I do for these things.
I can usually find these, but I can not for some reason make out what this is. What is it? What is your technique?

Anyways, the one thing I always did as a kid to figure out what those images show, would be to cross my eyes and then slowly uncross them while trying to focus on the middle of the picture. After a little while you could get pretty good at it.
my technique is to cross my eyes. that's essentially what the instructions for these things cause you to do.
You can see it by either causing your eyes to converge or diverge (based on shifting your focal point behind or in front of the image). In either case this shifts the multiple images to stack on each other and the 3D effect is achieved. You can "Cross" your eyes (converge eyes and shift focal point forward) or relax and "look through" the image (diverge eyes and shift focal point back).
I think the books with pages of the 3D things in them became popular when I was in grade school. Every dang kid was always explaining to me how you had to look through the page but I never got it.. Until just now. 10 years later and I finally get to see what the fuss is about.
P.S. Isn't that the thing a Romulan ship from Star Trek?
Ding ding ding! We have a winner! The easiest way I can explain how I look at it is to relax my eyes, and kind of do a thousand yard stare (you know, looking far off in the distance but not really "looking".) I can usually get an image in a second or two. Again, I use the same technique for the depth perception tests and I've never had a problem.
Oh yea I see the little green ships. They didn't stand out at first but now I know what I'm looking at.

It's pretty amusing actually...I'll go in and tell the Corpsman that I've never really "passed" one of these...they administer it and I'll guess "Yeah, the third one stands out." and the Corpsman will say something to the effect of "What's that sir? The first one? Nice job".Total F-in joke once you get past that first one.
This basically happened to me at MEPS.
I had gotten to the last two of the Depth Perception lines, and then I started getting them wrong. I would answer, and then the technician would say..."Try again." And I would answer something different until I got it right.
Too bad they didn't do the same thing for me for the color vision test...
I can normally pass the fly test with the super-cool sunglasses. but the contraption with the letters seems to have a vendetta against me. Sometime in the near future, I think, they're gonna go to the fly ball test, if you can catch a fly ball, you pass.
To the OP:
Just reinforcing the advice everyone else posted. People have experienced success by going to a civilian doctor and sending papers with your application package. For some reason those were denied or not seen by whomever reviewed my MEDDOCS; which puts me in a strange situation, but I'll keep you posted as to what I find out.

well, chalk me up, i just failed the depth perception at MEPS today. 20/20 near/far in both eyes uncorrected and aced the color test, but bombed the depth test. I've read all the threads on this issue so today my technique was to relax and look beyond the black circles, however, couldn't see any of them pop out. i know some folks have recommended relaxing and looking back and forth, but does crossing your eyes work just as well?? i've seen that technique mentioned on here but wasn't sure if that really has any value to it. what's more of the recommendation these days, relax back and forth or cross eyes??
im hoping that because my recruitor warned me of this process and crap machines that they will use my civilian eye exam. back in april i saw a civilian eye doctor to look at my eyes and i passed everything, including depth test, no problem. any advice if that will still hold current or will they want a more recent exam?
