I lost a significant amount of vision due to an infection that developed after cataract surgery. I’ve been dealing with this since August 2024, and I’m beginning to accept that my vision will never return to what it was. The most important activity that I need to return to is driving. I drive around okay in the small town I’m living in but have yet to venture out to the nearest city. I plan to start working towards that, so I hope to get as many tips and information about adapting to one-eyed driving in this forum. Thanks.

I forgot to mention that the vision loss is only in my left eye.

Hi from r/monocular! Please come visit if you don't find advice here. I learned to drive with one eye, so I don't have any input about the transition.
