With the loss of an eye, your depth perception is greatly affected. Objects that are closer than 15 feet will be more difficult to adjust to than those of greater distance.
Close work can be frustrating, but with practice and persistence in your compensation,you will learn to adjust for the loss in your perception. You can exercise certain moves to learn your distant adjustments and with little time you will know your parameters.
During your driving, never tailgate and be extra cautious of your peripheral visions ,especially when backing up you vehicle.
Dual mirrors are a great help and are required by law in cases of eye loss. Learn to depend on their use.
