When I was 6 I threw a horseshoe at a beer bottle and gouged out a piece of my right eye. I am incredably light sensative and get frequent headaches from light. My pupil contract on that eye very well. It is almost always dialated. I still have good vision, but it is very very slowly getting worse. You get use to the lack of depth preception and learn to deal with it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-beats-a-rock-to-the-face-at-40mph/14384)._
