I am Ukrainian soldier. 30 years old. About a month ago lost my right eye at war with Russia. Although both of my eyes was healthy( Trying to get used to it and start to believe life can still be normal for me. Thank you for this video
Well done for helping your people in war, much love. Now about having one eye, beleive me or not but I've got one eye ever since I was 2 1/2. I'm now 14. And don't worry your life is fine. My life is completley normal and I never stuggled with one eye. I can't even thing of any disadvantages I've generally had no joke bro. My life is perfect and it would feel weird if I had two eyes again because I'm so used to it. My earliest memory was when I was 4 and I remeber having a very good quality life back then. So after a few years you will get used to it and carry on living. Even now just carry on bro you will be fine.
I am totally blind in my right eye-happened in Dec. 2017, my biggest fear is that the same thing will happen to the good eye...so far, so good, I am 74 years old..Monocular people do not have support groups or even online support groups, we are pretty much ignored....
There's always someone worse off then you. You might have one arm but your neighbor might have no arms. I wouldn't say it's reason to feel good about yourself, but rather a reason to be grateful for what you have. I was born blind in one eye and I don't know any different. I can't imagine losing vision in one or even both eyes after having vision in both eyes.. Must take quite a while to adapt :| With regard to depth perception, it's not 100%, however, I have learned to use certain points of reference in my environment to help me judge depth a bit better.
i have under developed optic never in my right eye which causes blindness. such an inspiring video, made me shed a tear, and also what a BADDIE. 🥺🥺🥺 i feel like everyone blind in one eye needs to watch this video.
Great job! I loved it! FYI, I know Emily Pickett. She is like a mentor to me. She helps me get through hard times. Lots of love and thanks to you Emily! (I had retinoblastoma and as well but I had it at the age of 3)
When I was born, Within 14 days of my birth I Suffered from Retina Blostama Cancer, which led to the removal of my right eye at that age, I never experienced how it feels to see from both eyes, But surely I can write and read, drive bike and car too easily, without any support, I did my undergrad in reputable university over coming to my eye thing, also doing the job and pursuing my masters too, in my childhood when I used to see in the mirror without the prosthetic eye, I used to say to my mom that why I don't have two eyes and she used to say son, look below you, people don't have hands, and much more you should be grateful for having a life , And I am thankful to Almighty for this live I have
OMG U BEAUTIFUL ONE IS SUCH AN INSPIRATION. I HAD RETINOBLASTOMA ALSO BUT MY SELF ESTEEM IS GONE BUT U DID SOMETHING TO MY INNER BEING AND JUST MAYB MAYB I CAN GET A TWITCH OF SELF ESTEEM. U R PHENOMENAL, PURE GRACE, BEAUTY, STRENGTH AND A GIFT. CONTINUED BLESSINGS 4-EVER. SELAH
My 2 year old son will have to have his left eye removed soon because of retinoblastoma. Hardest times of my life. He´s a brave baby and i hope he will grow up as a strong man and i will do my best to support him as long as i can.
6:05 lol, I had to play Volleyball without one eye + depth perception as well & got a bad grade out of it which influenced my diploma :)) My high school wasn't even aware of it lol
I had a CRAO 3 years ago which fried my retina and optic nerve..Still haven't gotten used to it. going down steps can be tricky, I bump into things and people on my blind eye side, I always see the bottom side of my nose. Depth perception is very poor for the first 10 feet or so..not fun...
I also have only one working eye. She really needs to stop saying she has a disability. Kudos on surviving cancer. But living with only one working eye isn't difficult at all. You literally barely notice it. Your brain does the work for you and assembles the image. The social security administration doesn't recognize lack of stereopsis as a disability. I have yet to inspire anyone with my lack of a right eye, i dare to say she hasn't either
Hey even miopia is a disability. Just because a disability is compensated for doesn’t mean you can’t define it as a disability. Also disability isn’t just what’s legally recognized as such
Do you want an award for that? You think acting though and calling her weak makes you more "normal" in the eyes of binoculars? She said she faced struggles and you choose to invalidate them based in your own experience as a monocular. Also, monocular vision IS a disability, it just doesn't qualify you for SS.

Please stand on my left side, I can't see on my right side.
Thanks for the video.
You can drive with one eye. As long as the eye you see out of is good.
Love you
Me too
