If yu go blind in one eye how much of your vision do you lose a) 1/5th or b) 1/3rd

[devilwoman]

well as you have two eyes i presume you would lose half your vision.

[ummmm]

You can see just as well with one eye. It's just the peripheral vision you lose. My daughter is blind in one eye.

There's some nice ammo for WM

I was born without a left eye (and now have a prosthesis in the socket). I've limited peripheral vision, but the most that means to me is I have to be sure to turn my head a little more than other people.

I've been told I have no depth perception, but the only way that's affected me is that I take a bit more time to absorb visual clues to help me estimate distances. I do this so automatically that I don't even realize it. I think my vision's quite fine, and have no troubles driving a car.
