Any Divers with Blindness in One Eye?

[kablooey]

I'm facing the possibility of permanently loosing my vision in one eye.
Are there any divers out there who continue to dive after loosing the use of one eye?
I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences.

I would imagine it will take you some time for your brain to learn to compensate, but I'm sure you will get there. I am "fortunate" that my brain has had a lifetime to do that. One of my eyes has been essentially non-functional since birth--a congenital defect, as they say. I have no idea what binocular or stereoscopic vision is, much as I would imagine a blind person has no idea what color is. A 3D movie is meaningless to me. I suppose I judge distance by scale, how things become hazier as they recede into the distance, and other visual clues ... because I have no idea there could be another way. Judging distance underwater is hard even for people with binocular vision, so I don't feel too handicapped underwater. We are fortunate that we are designed with a number of important organs in pairs.
