It took a few days to get used to the loss of depth perception - that is the worse part. To this day, I will pull into a parking spot, think I have pulled up far enough, get out of the car and find out I am sticking out about 4 feet and I have to get back in the car and pull it forward! Also, I have turned into a little old lady driver - I am very cautious because you do have a blind spot on the side the patch is on. I crane my neck and look behind me - look in every mirror, etc. before I switch lanes or back up. However, my reasoning is that if I lost an eye due to an accident or illness, I would figure out how to live my life and not become a hermit - I am simply doing the same thing with mg. My doctors all agree with me (my internist has one glass eye, so he can really relate!)

Hang in there!
