    Big issue I’d have is that I really wouldn’t want to drive with only one eye. Loss of depth perception and visual field would be a significant concern.

      Literally thousands do it, though. The depth perception thing is a bit overblown, really. You aren’t losing that much depth perception.

      Also, the article states her reasons for having to quit, and driving there isn’t one of them.

        The loss of visual field is probably the greater concern.

        I’m not saying that you can’t drive with one eye, but it is definitely an impairment and makes the job tougher.

          Again, though. As the article states, it had nothing to do with the drive to get to work.

            Yes, I’m not saying that it was an issue for this specific individual. Just that it would be an issue for many people, including myself.

      The brain might adapt after a while. Our brains really do already fill in a lot that we don’t know about with our field of vision with two eyes.
