how can someone actually walk around with one eye...they must fall down alot

Some of us have no choice but to walk around with one eye and it has nothing to do with being emo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

how did it happen?

Two little boys, ages 6 and 7 (I was the latter) who chose not to listen to their mothers when they were repeatedly told not to throw sticks at one another. I'll assume I need not finish the story for you to guess its ending.

Actually, no.

It happened when I was young, obviously, so at this point in my life I don't honestly remember what it was like to see out of both eyes. The only real drawback to single-eye vision is having virtually zero depth perception. So at night when all I can see is headlights on cars going the opposite direction I find it difficult to gauge distances sometimes. As a result I will sometimes wait longer than necessary to make a left turn against oncoming traffic - and irritate whoever may happen to be behind me that could more easily tell that I had sufficient room.

However, I have an absolutely spotless driving record (and uber-cheap insurance to prove it!)

The strangest thing about losing the vision in one eye was how it affected the other eye. I had incredibly poor eyesight when I was little (Coke bottle-think glasses and all). When I got hurt the vision in the remaining eye improved to better than 20/20. My opthamologist figures it was due to the other eye having to work so much harder after the accident that it got better on its own. Go figure.
