How much of the field of vision is lost when one eye goes blind?

None. Your brain makes up for the lack of stimulus from a missing eye. You can try this yourself. Look at an object or a scene with both eyes, and then cover one eye with your hand. The scene or object will look exactly alike in terms of luminosity and clarity. The only thing that will be missing is the sense of perspective, which is why we have two eyes.
^^True^^ The brain only needs one eye for things like depth perception etc. The only thing lost will be the part of your range of vision beyond your nose on the half of the head not possessing an eye.

∙ 15y agoBecause when you have both eyes you can see from one side to the other, out of the corner of you eye. When you lose an eye, you can only see half because you can't see past your nose and as far that other way.

∙ 14y agoLots of people go their whole lives with one "good" eye. You are still legal for driving (a car, not semi). A sudden loss of vision in one eye can take some time to get used to. Initially depth perception is affected (try catching a ball with one eye closed) but usually other visual clues can be used to judge distance (ie things that look bigger are closer to you.) Monocular people must be very careful about eye protection, polycarbonate lenses full-time are a good idea. Good luck

Did the farmer lose any cows when he lost control of his tractor?
Hard to say if the farmer was near any cows at the time of the accident or not. If he lost control of the tractor in the pasture on some steep hills, he could've maybe ran over one or two, if they were slow to get away in time. If he lost control when he was out on the road or in a field, then no.

Can a lop rabbit go into depression?
Our mini lop did become depressed when he lost his sight due to cataracts. He lost his appetite and became disinterested in his surroundings. To pull him out of it, we would take him on "field trips" to rooms he was familiar with in our house. When he realized he could still find his way around, he gained confidence, and became a happy bun again!

If a neighbor lost an eye in an automobile accident how does his vision differ from that of someone with two eyes?
The biggest difference will be the challenge of depth perception. The stereopticon type of ability that two eyes have enable the brain to better judge distance. This is a big handicap, one which improves with time as the brain adjusts to using other clues to determine depth and distance. It also gives them a larger blind spot or put another way, a smaller field of vision.
Is there any way you can help a blind mouse?
There is just about nothing that can be done to correct the blindness once it has set in. However, mice are not primarily visual animals - they function more through smell and hearing. This means a mouse that has either lost his vision or was born without vision isn't at nearly the handicap that a human might think it is.
Are mice really blind?
No. In the nursery rhyme of the Three Blind Mice, they were. Just like humans, mice can lost their sight. So those three apparently had lost theirs.
