IF you do NOT yet NEED glasses, you could get a pair of those el-cheapo kind at a dollar store and just KNOCK out the lens on the side that you will need to LOOK through -- and put tape on the side you need to cover. I'm telling you, the scotch tape makes the glass JUST blurry enough that you won't be able to focus and it is amazing. When people see me, now -- I almost look "normal". They can see the shape of my eye through the "semi-transparent" tape -- and it takes a second or two for them to figure out something is different. It is not NEARLY as distracting as an eye-patch!! And it lets LIGHT into your eye!!
