Thanks, Mike. That's very interesting. Not to go too far off topic, but what about the lack of depth perception in someone who only has vision in one eye? I just looked it up for Florida and one-eyed Jacks and Jills are allowed to drive as long as the corrected vision in their remaining eye is 20/40 or better.
