Nighthawk · 11 Dec 2005, 20:30 (Ref:1481827)

wondering would it still be possible to marshal as i have just had an accident and could loose my sight in right eye.

I can't see (unintentional pun!) it being much of a problem. Your field of vision may be reduced, but you'll quickly adapt. Distance perception shouldn't be too much of a problem - according to my optician, binocular vision is only used up to about five metres distance, beyond that the brain interprets distance from perspective.

This has been covered before, so if my useless skills are up to it you should be able to find more information here:

Come & join me on post nighthawk.
I'm an Observer and miss everything - at least with you by my side we'll see something!!

Thats a good idea mark.
as an observer myself i tend to miss things, but with 2 of us i,m sure we would have 2 good eyes to see things with........

Anyway been in hospital for my 2nd operation on the eye and now got some of my vision back. 3 more ops to go and then i can assess the final outcome on my full vision.

Bugger, that sucks, how you going to see the Girls now!!
Do we want to know how it happened or is it best kept quiet!
Hope you get your full sight back, Even if you don't I'm sure you'd still be more than up to the job!

Don't let it worry you- I've been living with one eye for the last fifteen years.
Its a bit odd to start with but it doesn't take long to get used to it .
Best of luck.

Thanks to all who i have had the pleasure to marshall with see you all next year.

Don't worry Nighthawk, since I had the Brain Tumour removed I have not had the use of my right eye, well it works, but not with the left. I intend to Marshal in 2006 and will give it 107% as usual.
