Our mind puts it together, and makes up for any missing pieces!

And then the subconsciousness turns it, into reality! :) (or that's my guessing, at any rate)

See some optical illusions (http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=22724)

Does each eye take in something different or exactly the same?
Does each eye take in something different or exactly the same? Are they linked to the different sides of the brain or does that happen after each image from each eye is combined?

The cortex is a programmable logic array, implemented with neurons rather than transistors as an electronic engineer might do. During the first few months of life, the array is programmed by comparing the images; neurons useful for the combining process survive, while the others die off.
