I've been blind in my right eye for over 40 years (I'm 50) since an accident and EVERYTHING this guy says is spot on. I can do anything, I find skiing fine but do worry about people coming over my right side and I never wear headphones so I can be as aware as possible. I think I have a bit of an issue with not seeing the bumpy terrain and get caught out but that may just be me. I can ski any black run. I won't ride a motorcycle on the road though because I can't shoulder check, my nose gets in the way. I've driven for 30 years no problem with the dark. I do still occasionally bump into people or door frames and people who approach me from the right still surprise me. My friends don’t do that though. My iris is always open so I wear good quality (Serengeti, Oakley or Ray Ban sunglasses.) I recommend wrap round Serengeti for driving and buy safety glasses for cycling. My wife always make sure I sit at the right chair if we’re out for dinner with people, bless her. I do have two different colour eyes as result that I wouldn’t change if I could. If you’re new to having one eye I’m sorry you’ve had this experience but there’s lots of us out there. It’ll be ok. Buy safety glasses for cycling.

I lost my right eye thanks to cancer recently. I lost my vision slowly & that really helped me adapt, but driving was so hard when I first starting having issues. I am getting my first prosthetic near end of Feb. This has been incredibly helpful as I have been so worried about the "what after"

I've been blind in one eye for almost 5 years and this video has helped me learn more than i have in 5 years! So thank you

Just found this video. I have been living with blindness in my right eye due to untreated retinal detachment. What he said is accurate! Do take care of your eye. Early treatment in 90% of the cases are life-saving

This video really helped me out. I live in the states, specifically in California. Here, a person like me with monocular vision can indeed drive, so as long as the good eye is beter than 20/200 with glasses, in my case, I'm 20/125. You gave some sound advice, the additional mirrors on a car helps with blind spots. Thank you so much for the video.

I lost my right eye when I was 7 (rock from a lawn mower) and am now 57. I relate with everything he says, and was pleasantly surprised to hear about the direct line of focus! I’m an excellent basketball shooter, and also enjoy tennis. 🙂

Me too an one eyed since my age was 15. Now I am 23. Everything is fine from India. We the one eyeds can make a virtual group or community. Are you agree guys?

Great explanation!!

Thank you, God bless you dr.

Great Video Thank You For Great Information all the best !

Hello, I was wondering if you know if people who are blind in one eye can drive in the UK? My sister really wants to get a driving licence but she is blind in one eye. we have to wait a few weeks before we can see the optitions. But I would really like to know soon.

I had to learn this all myself 19 years ago when I lost most vision in 1 eye mostly at 15 from a paintball injury they did an experimental surgery to see what they could do to help but I have no lense and can't see out of the center of my eye there was nothing like this then thank-you so much. they couldn't put a lense in because I was 15 and cause my pupil was blown out till I was 25 cause the eye was still growing. thanks to the person that donated his body to science because I had glaucoma so they put a stint in to hold the drainage tube in place so I could keep they eye in case of the other one loosing vision I owe so much to UC Davis Sacramento for helping me out I would love to thank them all in person but my ptsd from everything won't alow me to return sofar im working hard to get over it all thanks again for your advice it really helps even though I didn't lose my eye I deal with similar side effects

I have had a horrific hemorrhage behind my eye. Initially I had about 60% vision loss in my right eye. I still had left peripheral vision in that eye. Now I am down to 90% vision loss in the eye but it’s more a black and solid green orange instead of just black. I feel like I am walking in a bubble I find myself closing the affected eye to try to steady myself and to prevent dizzy and nausea. I don’t know if this is normal. The whole bending down and picking things up is absolutely a struggle I can’t guage the distance of the item and the floor then when I stand up I have to steady myself. I was trying to drive initially but at this point I am not comfortable doing so. I am still incredibly blessed because my dr says with time I may regain my vision. But my life has not stopped even though I have not been participating in all of it. I have to learn to do life with one eye. Should I patch it? Should I tape it? I don’t want to lose the eye muscle… any advice is welcome!

My right eye is useless and my left one has only 15% of vision ..

I was born premature at 6 months. I am partially blind in left eye. Docs told me that there's nothing that could help me with this situation and that I needed to protect my right eye at all cost. I found out what this was called 8yrs ago when I tried to go get my CDL and I was told that I will never be able to drive any kind of commercial vehicle then I said to myself well that's dumb as hell cause I got my regular drivers licenses. I'm 41 now an I've only been in 2 wrecks and they happened my Jr year in high school. Now I'm on up in age it's bothering me a lot to know that one day I'll start losing sight in my right eye the older I'm getting, it actually almost freaks me out every time I think about it cause being able just to see out of one eye is a normal to me since born like this.😔😔😔

temporarily blinded on one side from corneal abrasion and life is very different

🎉❤

I lost my eye 😢

Why people with one eye blind can't get Disability certificate? One eyed people can't get into a lot of jobs bcoz of their blindness in one eye. Moreover in this modern era they face locomotary problems as well because for almost all jobs these days people need to travel on their own vehicle ( more frequently) but the biggest problem is that one eyed persons can't get driving license in most of the countries which makes their life more difficult...there are many others problems too in day-to-day life...but the irrational standard for disability benefits rules/laws don't considers one eyed people as "disabled". Can't this ambiguous laws be amended for the sake of making their life atleast some easier?
