I've basically had monocular vision since a fight back in elementary school.
My right eye, which had been my primary eye, took an injury which temporarily blinded me and then left that eye extremely far-sighted.
Since my left eye was somewhat near-sighted, that meant that I could only use one eye at a time if I wasn't using glasses.
-And glasses only worked if I was looking straight ahead.
Now I've just had a retinal separation in my left (relatively good) eye and I have a load of 'floaters' drifting through that eye.
The ophthalmologist said that it should fade some over time but that I should just get used to it
On the 'good' side, he said that, beside some damage to the optic nerve on the other eye, he should be able to remove the cataract in a few years and mostly restore vision on that side.
This should allow me to keep working, driving and shooting for the foreseeable future... .
