Having one functioning eye shouldn't hinder much of anything. You can compensate by moving your good eye more, and swivelling head/moving body more to make use of that eye.

Perhaps things with really fast balls, like baseball or cricket, might be difficult, but I think most things you'll do just fine with. Just try some sport and stick with it for a while – you'll figure out how to at least somewhat compensate and adapt the sport to half-vision without even trying to.

If you can't deal with ball/puck sports, try people-sports. I'm biased, but... wrestling is nice. People can't move as fast as a ball can, and half the time you're just *feeling* where you and opponent are, rather than *seeing* where you are.

No joke, archery. I've got tunnel vision and I can still do archery. I'd imagine doing so with only one working eye would be possible.

I'm legally blind and do muay thai. It's a lot of fun! Personally, I don't fight, but I know someone who lost one eye during their lifespan, and they actually spar and fight!

You could try Brazilian JIU Jitsu or some other martial art. I did Tae Kwon Do for a bit too, and I'm completely blind from birth. You'll at the very least get a hard workout if you talk to the instructors and find a good school. Competition might be another matter, but several people at the BJJ academy where I train have inquired if I'd like to compete. I probably won't bother, because their scoring system seems silly, but the community is friendly, and the extra self defence could be useful. It tends to be quite cerebral as well, which I quite like. I've also done a bit of wrestling as well. The VI designed sports are alright, but when I tried out for paracycling with my tandem partner, we broke the government equipment. The guy next to us also snapped the cable on his assigned hand cycle. So I'm guessing Canada is not very good at cycling, at least, because I'm 38 which is considerably old for pro cyclists, so I was surprised they had asked me to try out at all. When we'd tried out, we were doing about 300 km of rides per week, or so. We'd logged 4000 km one summer. The point of that story was to say that "competitive" probably means something different for "disabled" so-called athletes, than it would possibly for what's perceived as "normal
".

You can play VI sports if you are looking at team ball sports. There’s tennis, soccer, Goalball and some others. Although if you are fully sighted in one eye, it might change things a little.

Bowling! I have monocular vision and no depth perception but I'm pretty good at it!

Also swimming, diving, track, lifting

I also have no depth perception and I found that sports that involve flying objects that weren’t my body were awful. I loved gymnastics because it only required depth perception from experience and my vision wasn’t a limiting factor. If you have problems with low muscle tone or trust issues/anxiety it might be hard.

I have no depth perception and did gymnastics as a kid. The main obstacle I had was low muscle tone rather than vision.

I had my left eye removed when I was 2 due to cancer and lost all of my vision in my right eye back in 2014. I played varsity tennis in high school, shot pool, was fairly decent at hitting a baseball, basketball was no problem, and later on I really got into target shooting at pistol and rifle ranges. Track and field, cross country, all of those were no problem since I had no other reference to what depth perception was supposed to look like, I just adapted and kept my head on a swivel more than most to take in my surroundings. Just takes time, lots of practice, and figuring out what works best for your visual condition. Swimming doesn't require two eyes, niether does cycling, both of which I loved up until I totally lost my sight. I was just about to take ice skating lessons at a local rink to learn how to play hockey when my vision went.

Did Judo and taekwondo (ITF), although kicking was hard (especially when it was a 180° or 360°) but you eventually get somewhat of a feel for it. I do recommend against ballsports, they always targeted me during volleyball for easy points :p

That said, you can do anything. Heck, a friend of mine who was paralyzed on one side of his body did taekwondo. It's fine as long as you enjoy it.

As a kid, I was on an adaptive soccer team; The ball had a jinglebell in it, so it could be located via sound. Now, I am on a beep baseball team and it is super fun. There's also Goalball. A lot of ski resorts have adaptive programs, too.

Long range competition shooting or really any kind of shooting (:

​

As others have mentioned, jiu jitsu and archery are excellent sports that do not require depth perception.

​

I had intended to suggest marksmanship, but there appears to be a financial concern about archery, which is less expensive than firearms (and is very likely within your budget). There are no shortage of archers that would love to find someone to sell their gear to so they can put the proceeds toward new setups. Attending sporting/hunting shops, archery/firearms ranges or clubs, and online forums could put you in position to get into archery (and perhaps hunting) at a very affordable price.

Weightlifting, bodybuilding, kinesthetics, shotput, discus, javelin, strongperson competitions, skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, etc. are also options.

Blind hockey is really taking off - Minnesota has a huge program, and there's one in DC as well. Pretty sure these teams are for anyone with any level of visual impairment, so it's worth checking out if you're interested...
