I lost the eye when I was 2.
I had Optic Nerve Glioma.
I wear a contact in the good eye. The PX is -6.
Nothing has reoccurred since the eye was removed.
I can see 140 degrees peripheral vision.
I can drive any vehicle without a problem.
I cant see 3D movies.
I would like an honest answer please! thanks.

I have depth perception... or I wouldn't be able to drive a car or go skydiving...
I can shoot a gun better then most people with two eyes because I don't have to squint to obtain monocular vision when looking down a barrel or scope!
Screw our Military Medical bull ****... If I want to do it I should be allowed to do it... What happen to Freedom? Ill sign a waiver... Prove to me that I can't do something anyone else with two eyes can.

No, the problem is your lack of depth vision which could be harmfull in case you need to handle a firearm and that is a no go for any armed force whether you'll normally be sitting behind a desk during your service or are an actual combatant.

No. Absence of an eye is disqualifying for entry into all branches of the armed forces.

Sorry, it's not. I'm mildly color blind and even that kept me out of being just an attorney in the Coast Guard.
