[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1007391, member: 561023"] 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. [/QUOTE]
