Yes, flattlings with two eyes have a far easier time exploring their world. Although each retina only still receives a one-dimensional line, the slight difference between the two lines gives their brain enough information to infer distance. Effectively granting them a pseudo-two-dimensional sense of space. The brain stitches the light from each eye together and estimates how far away an object must be. We experience something similar. Strictly speaking each of our eyes captures a flat two-dimensional image. A photo of our world printed on two-dimensional paper looks pretty much the same as what we see. But because the images received by each of our eyes differs slightly. Our brain extracts depth cues giving us pseudo three-dimensional perception. Some lucky flattlings were born with two eyes and others are developing bionic ones so that every flattling can share the gift of depth. P.S., I wrote a whole book about dimensions available at Tobis.com.
