Note: Hi! I'm new to this subreddit, first of all my first language is Spanish, so I would like if people could answer in Spanish if they can, if not English is ok.
I've (M22) and all my life only been capable of seeing with my left eye, my right eye can only perceive some kind of shadows and a hint of color, the images see blurry and it´s hard to focus with it. Actually, it never obeys my instructions and it moves away to any direction when I put my vision on some place or object.
The first years when I was a child, the headaches were part of everyday, to have a ride in a car or play videogames made me have more of a bad time. So, with the progression of time (like 6-7 years) I learn to ‘turn off’ that eye in order for not to feel pain and dizziness. The best way to explain how it works is like someone or something punches your eye, everything gets dark and then it starts to focus again. Well for me is like always getting stuck in that part where you can’t see and can’t focus.
My question is mostly for people who used to see with both eyes and loss vision of one of them, how did it changed your perception of objects, including depth, color, shapes, shadows. What is the difference between being able to see with both eyes compared to only one? I'm a nurse, I learn to make my job with one step more of difficulty, but I made it. I want know how much it changed your life. Because I don't know what is that thing that I never had, but you can explain what you lost.

EDIT: Thanks! I don't have to much answers, but is enough to me, thank you to everybody for take the time to explain your singular view.
