Its always great to have support from you, but even support from older friends that can somewhat relate to her too. This is so nice that you care enough to ask for advice in these situations.

I am 37 y/o, and lost the sight in my right eye at 31 y/o. I was lucky enough to survive an accidental hand gun injury to my face. But, I had just graduated from a Physician Assistant (PA) program, when the vision loss precluded any future aspirations to perform surgery. I have no depth perception, and so I do not see in 3D. I have learned to judge distance while driving by scanning back and forth, and not tail-gating. My experience as a school bus driver with a CDL helped. But, Donna's mother can learn to drive with monocular vision if she patched her worse eye. It's okay to share this and forward. I hope someone can benefit from my experiences and traumas. Everything is relevant, our "disabilities" may not seem so "crippling" when we see a 6 y/o play and go to school despite cancer or confiniment to a wheelchair. And, we can all feel better by helping others less fortunate..... Or, by planting a flower. God Bless, Donna Dear Lois,
