One eye can judge distance out to about 20 feet.
At that point the lens doesn't need to deform much to focus the light hitting the back of your eye, so that eye can't tell how far away anything is past that point.
Two eyes can judge distance out much farther away.
Your brain compares the differences between the two images and guesses at the distance of an object.
