ELI5: If losing an eye makes you lose your depth perception why can you still percieve depth while closing an eye?

Because while binocular depth perception is perhaps the greatest *component* of our depth perception, it’s not the *only* component. Parallel lines, like stripes in the road or train tracks, scale, and several other visual cues to gauge distance also factor into it all, and our brains are pretty damn good at it.
