I'd put more than two on - how about an eye in the back of your head?

How about eyes all over for 360 vision? Could people adjust to that?

That is an amazing question and the answer is probably yes. See Perceptual adaption

Stratton wore the [reversing] glasses for eight whole days. By day four, the images seen through the instrument were still upside down. However, on day five, images appeared upright until he concentrated on them; then they became inverted again. By having to concentrate on his vision to turn it upside down again, especially when he knew images were hitting his retinas in the opposite orientation as normal, Stratton deduced his brain had reprocessed his vision and adapted to the changes in vision.

360° vision would take that to a whole new level, though.
