I worked for a guy who lost an eye when he was a child. He was sitting on a curb when a car drove by and shot a stone into his eye. It didn't limit him at all, he owned a successful business, raced drag boats and built his own hulls, and built race engines and street engines doing a lot of the machine work himself including valve work.
