Sure they can. It varies state to state but usually the vision must be 20/40 or better in either eye to get a DL license without restriction. If the eye with vision is less than 20/40, again depending on the state, then they would have to wear corrective lenses but would still be able to get a DL. In some states there may be restrictions, for example day driving only or no hi-way driving.

My sister is in this situtation. She's not completely blind in one eye but has very poor vision in it. It's the result of lazy eye she had as a child but it wasn't detected soon enough so one of her eyes literally shut down. She has not have good depth perception. She does have a driver's license but didn't get it until she was 35 years old and her job required it. Still, she doesn't like to drive and only does it when there's no one else available to drive her somewhere.

In almost all countries, yes, but only for a normal car licence.
Heavy goods and public service vehicle licences, (trucks, buses etc.) normally require a more demanding visual standard, including a minimum degree of vision in both eyes, and a minimum level of vision without correction.
Someone who has *suddenly* lost the sight in one eye might be strictly legal, but would usually be warned against driving, at least for a period.

Yes. The applicant may have to take a road test to demonstrate a reasonable level of competence, but one-eyed people get licenses to drive all the time - my late father-in-law was one.

Yes, I knew someone that had a glass eye and had to have correction lens for the other.

I hope not....
Having sight in only one eye diminishes your depth perception which can make it nearly impossible to know when to stop before hitting something or SOMEONE.
