Hey, here's a thread I can really relate to. I was born with severe amblyopia, plus badly crossed eyes, and they did surgery twice to try to straighten things out (when I was 2 & 3). This was back in the early '60s, so things were still pretty primitive in eye treatment, compared to today. Basically, I've been around 80-90% (how do you measure that, lol) blind in my left eye, all my life. But at least I didn't get an involuntary lobotomy, lol. 😁😉

I have the same problem, it's tough to check traffic behind me. I really like the idea of glove-mounted mirrors, but I almost never wear gloves. 🙄 I've thought about a fork-mounted mirror, but haven't got serious about it yet. If anyone wants to borrow that idea, feel free. 🙂

BTW, if there's any doubt at all, I stop & look over my shoulder. 👍
