yes i do. as long as you are moving the problem is less than it would be if you are still. something about ambient parallax discrepencies or something i suppose... ever wonder why a chicken keeps bobbing its head around? it's creating artificial parallax changes that aid its lack of depth perception due to its non frontal facing eyes. really.
been blind in right eye since 7. i've gotten used to it. being blind in left eye will be a little more difficult for you in that looking for clearance behind you will be difficult to the left. you will have to turn almost all the way around to the left to see behind you. it will be easier to see behind you to the right. the real problem is that the nose gets in the way. really.
having said all this, my recommendation is to not join leagues that involve moving ball sports. and if forced into joining either a baseball team or pingpong. pick pingpong. the ball doesn't hurt as much when it hits you dead square in the face. really. i know this for a fact.
