In almost all countries and states it is legal, provided the good eye has a full field of view and is healthy.
But:
1) this generally applies to someone who has had long-established monocular vision.
Somone used to having two eyes who suddenly loses the use of one may be advised not to drive.
2) this does not apply to most commercial driving licences, as opposed to standard private ones.
Drivers of buses, heavy goods vehicles etc. are normally required to have a certain degree of vision in their worse eye.

I'm not a Dr. but I know a fellow who only has one eye and has a job driving a truck for a dairy, so obviously you can get a license. I think the brain can make up for the depth perception problem with time. I had some eye surgery and drove around for 6 weeks with a patch and no problems. I just had a tendancy to brake too early. Better too early than too late I guess.

Yes you can drive with one good eye and one bad eye. A bit more dangerous that two eyes working...but not a problem.

well, the real answer is....
...it depends on the state you live in. in my state (TX) it is legal to drive with only one seeing eye, but i know that in some states it is not.

im not a doctor, but i doubt you can because if a car over takes on the blind side you wont see so you might pull out to turn off and then crash into them. no offence but a blind driver is a liabilty and is risking other peoples lives
