I'm also an one-eyed freak. My left eye is prosthetic.I thought I was the only one but now I know that I'm not alone. I lost my eye when I was 2 years old. Now, I'm 15. It bothers me everyday the way how people say things about me. But now it doesn't. Thank you so much for inspiring me. And thank you so much for the tips. It really helps💕
Rule Number One: Do NOT call yourself a freak! People will see you the way you see yourself, I promise you that. I'm so happy my videos can help you! It's encouraging to make more! There are more of us than you know, never feel alone! xx
Same here! This has been so great and refreshing! Diana you're awesome! Been new to my prosthetic shell over my eye due to retinal detachment. 😁😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍
@@bandmarc141 I m also suffering from retina detachment but not using shell but now I m thinking of using it , if u guide me if possible then it will be greatfull
@@sunirmalbhakat7327 Absolutely! Its been great for me since I work with the public out and about and in a business setting as well so it helps "calm" things so I don't have to get berated with a million questions. The public can be kind and brutal 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 So I wear it when I feel I need to 😁 Find a good oclurist and ask your eye doctor for direction. They are always a great help for that part.

I lost my right eye when I was two months old because of a cancer, so I have never know what having with two eyes is. However, I don't think it's a big deal and I live well with it. Also, people are really cool about it and since I have a prothesis, people don't even notice it unless I tell them. Talking about my "handicap" has never been a problem for me. Also, the tip about sitting next to a person on the side where my eye is is so true! It's so uncomfortable for me walking next to someone but not seeing them, so I always walk on their left!
@@alexist9495 Sorry for the very late response. I can drive no problem. My field of vision is smaller on my right side so I have to tuen my head a little bit to see my right mirror and I have to check regularly what is going on on that side because I don’t see it in my peripheral vision, unlike the left side of the car. Otherwise, it’s pretty normal.
I lost my left eye playing with fire works and i struggled alot but watching your videos gave me the confidence i needed to go out and not worry about how people stare or say
I lost my left eye on January 20 2020 at the age of 25 due to a faulty airbag explosion while driving 11 mph (freak accident). I had 20/20 vision in both eyes my entire life before this. It has definitely been a life changing adjustment, but videos like this remind me that there is hope. Thank you for all that you do!
I lost vision in my left eye when i was 5. I was sooo insecure about it. Id skip school, quit jobs, bc i hated when people would talk about my eye. One day my uncle told me "Its not that big of a deal, you're treating your eye like its a controlling boyfriend." It spoke volumes to me. Also God is #1.
SAME! I would quit everything. Then one day someone told me in the bluntest but loving way-- who the fuck cares? and it's so true! If someone cares more than we do then they need to get their priorities straight lol!
@@nerdydiana Lmao I agree! I stopped letting it hold me back bc I refuse to like an Eye keep me in bondage from living my best life. Also, watching your videos makes me feel inspired. ❤❤
Wow I thought I was the one with that feeling I lost a few jobs because I I thought people always stare at me I have glaucoma thank.you for sharing your comment don't forget to always have a great day
This was absolutely wonderful, I love how you've tackled the situation and adapted. I recently lost my sight in my left eye. It difficult mentally physically and personally. Thank you for this. You're doing a great service.
I have a friend who recently told me she was blind in her left eye. I thought watching this video would help me understand it more without making her feel uncomfortable. Thanks!
Love this. I was born blind in my left eye. I'm 44 now and the depth perception struggle is real. It's amazing how many things require that. Driving is by far the most dangerous... Parallel parking and parking garages are my nemesis and I joke my car is a "bumper car" because for me, I constantly hit the wall in front of me in garages. My husband once moved the shelf I used on the side of the garage that let me know I was in... Yeah... I demolished his work bench but at least it wasn't the house. 🤣 Any type of racquet sport is a bust, ping pong and pool are downright hilarious. Even riding bikes and skiing can be a little tricky (stay far away from trees and posts!) I recently took up painting... Went to pour paint on the canvas... And poured it BEHIND the canvas lol. But with enough time, you adapt and come up with lots of strategies to help you. But seriously, when you have one eye, you really do need to drive like a grandma... No exceptions!! ❤️
Just found your videos, YOU ARE GREAT!!!! I am 63 y.o., and had my right eye removed at 6 mo. I contracted a staff infection when I was born. I experienced everything you talked about, kids are kids, no matter how old they are. It s the way of the world. My parents did me the biggest favor they could have, they never told me I was disabled. I have never considered myself disabled. To suggest another video, tell some of the things you've done with it to freak other people out, just for fun. I know I have a few stories...
I lost my left eye due to melanoma almost three months ago. I have actually seen this video before my surgery and it helped me a lot for what to expect after. Thank you :)
I also have one eye. I lost my left eye due to Retinoblastoma when I was one. Hearing someone else talk about their experience has really helped me become more comfortable with myself and realise that my one-eye life dosen't define me. I'm currently 15 and I used to be so ashamed of the fact that I only had one eye. And it honestly took me up until this past summer for me to gather the courage to tell people because I was so scared that I was forever going to be known as "the freak with one eye". I am now much more comfortable with myself and I now know that it's not my cancer-journey or the fact that I only have one eye that define me, but rather my opinions and who I am in relationships with friends and family that define me. Keep doing what you do because you inspire so many and I can assure you that a lot of people out there feel much better about themselves after watching your videos!
I was born 5 months premature, I stayed in the hospital for 3 months fighting for my life, in order to keep me alive the doctors had to up the pressure of the air I was inhaling and with all that built up pressure the optic nerve in my left eye broke off. I’ve been blind since birth and constant pain, tears, doctors visits. Seeing this video made me really happy to know I’m not alone.
The depth perception loss depends on the individual. I haven't lost any and went right back to living normally right away - including surfing, driving, working out, running stairs, eating, shopping, landscape photography, drawing, designing, etc. If you are already athletic and have very good spatial awareness, it may be an easy transition.
Sighs, you are such a beautiful person!! you have spectacular muscle movement of the prosthetic which makes you look so good. I have a prosthetic right eye since birth Im 58 now. I never had any issues aside from grade school where kids would ask questions about my eye. It was never a problem for me losing it at birth not like someone who just loses an eye what they must overcome. I played hockey was MVP, raced dirt bikes was 2 time amateur motocross national champion, drag race bikes...never had any depth perception issues. My only tip would be to wear glasses to protect the one eye you have left, I cant say how many times glasses may have saved my eye. Anyone else out there feeling depressed or not normal.....let me give you some advice from living on this rock for 58 years.......there are some people out there with far worse things wrong with them than this, think of them and what they must be going through....your problems in life will seem less important....in essence....just get on with life and don't worry about what others say/think.
Moto Z I have a daughter born with one eye working (left) and the other eye pretty much useless (right) , she still has her non working eye because somehow I have faith she will one day hopefully see out of both eyes as technology advances, she is 3 now and I’m just scared about what others might say or do to her when she grows up because of her condition and I beat myself up every single day because of this and break into tears.. but your story gave me a huge smile on my face knowing that you did all that with just ONE eye... incredible! My daughter is extremely smart and advanced for her age and hope she can conquer life just as well as everyone else with one eye.. thank you for your words brother really means a lot to me.
@@littymctidies4550 I can relate to how you feel, my Dad probably felt the same way but never let it show. Believe me when I say this....She will NOT have any issues in life, just look at her, does she seem like she is having any issues?? I bet NO. KIds can sometimes be inquisitive and I find it best that you may want to have some answers she can lay on them. Like yes I have one eye that is different but don't let that stop you from being my friend. I had some of the hottest girlfriends out there waaaay over my league..... Life today is much different than when I was growing up, people are more open and kind these days. Unless she wants to be in the military fly a plane or drive a truck....the sky is the limit.
@@alecdeakin2109 Alec....dont let a little thing like one eye slow you down.....adapt and overcome. My great ancestor Jan Zizka lead an army with only one eye and conquered all..in fact he lost BOTH eyes to battle and STILL led his men to battle.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_%C5%BDi%C5%BEka Go for it !!
Wow! This is great. I’m 75, have had a “glass eye” since I was 10 and this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone talking about people with one eye. The junk you get in your eye when you wake, the rubbing your eye only to find out later it’s been looking up while you were looking straight ahead. Enjoyed the tips. If you don’t have a mirror to check, use your phone. I have several stories about having one eye which can be an ice breaker if you’re not self conscious. I think there are only 2 things I’ve missed not being twin eyed. 1. Those pictures where you stare at for awhile and supposedly see an image. (Or maybe that’s just me.) 2. 3D. Would love to experience 3D. Anyway, thanks for the lovely, informative video. You did a terrific job.
I have never write a single comment in RUclips but I have to say this….. I just lost my left eye two weeks ago during an unsuccessful Retina detachment surgery. And cannot stop thinking of how my new life would be like. Specially as a sport guy wondering wether I would be able to practice soccer again or not. However your energy and tips gives me hope that everything is going to be fine. Thank you Diana 🙏🏾
I lost my left eye on a car accident... Now I have a prosthesis and I feel so bad when people ask me what's wrong with my eye... Lost a lot of self esteem and confidance, can't even stare at someone's eyes... 🙄
Come one man. Read of the life of Helen Keller. She led an amazing life and really contributed. Don't let that bother you please- I find that being upfront about everything works well. Just lead with "Yes I have a false eye, can we move on?"
Diana:You are both beautiful and inspiring-I have a family member battling stage 4.....thanks for your vids-your love of life and joy is a showcase for all
Same happened with me when i was 1 and i lost my left eye,, but when doctor put glass eye after some day i broke it they replaced it but unfortunately again broke after few days.then doctor said we will put this when he will be 14 or 15. As my parents took me to the eye surgeon when i grown up the doctor said we can't put eye coz face size changed your empty eye hole is smaller we need to operate and it's very risky so we came back hopelessly... Im 31 now please tell me what should i do now.. 😞😞 it affects my entire life i have no job people scared when they see my face....
My eyes is also prosthetic! I thought I was alone... I always make jokes at school so kids dont thing I'm sad, but it's weird. I've had one for 5 years. I'm currently 17
Great video & informative. You’re so beautiful ❤️ I’ve had a prosthetic eye for 15 years now. I’m still extremely self-conscious of the way I look around strangers or people I don’t know well. However around family and friends I am the 1st to crack jokes on myself.
@@MissKerrbear wait what eye did you lose and in your opinion what's wrong with wearing an eye patch. I don't even get it. It looks badass wearing one.
Thanks Doll!! I Love you and your videos! I lost my right eye in 2012 and its Great to see someone going through a similar situation and being open about it.
of course! it was hard to open up but I know that there are plenty of people out there like me who need to hear something from someone who is just like them! happy i can help!
Omg Diana...love it very helpful...I lost my eye sight in the left eye on 2002 but just got my prosthetic eye last month..I use ointment at night before I sleep...it helps...I love love love makeup...you are sooo right it's so hard to make things look even .... love this video and the variety lol.😍😍😘
Lost my right eye when I was 15 in 1987 and got my prosthetic from the ocular restoration clinic. These are awesome people to work with if you need to get one. Now to my question to you do you get what I call ice cream headaches in the winter? Snowblowing is the worst!
Hi there. Your videos are like a breath of fresh air. I am visually impaired in one eye. The constant thought of isolation , and lack of motivation is hampering my ability to do things & think straight. I am so obsessed with trying to do everything in my power to forcefully look from my affected eye & constantly searching for treatments when doctors have virtually given up. I hope u can relate. How do u manage to find your daily dose of motivation & the urge to do things & not being bothered by issues ???
I lost my left eye when I was just 11... I still remember the last crumbling visions and all the procedures trying to save it. Its all gone now, it doesnt make amy difference if I close it or not. I never really worried about loosing my eye, thats strange I was not even afraid of surgeries, after that I started to regain vision slowly and slightly,... but then I lost it all, no signs of light but i would lie to my mother that Im getting better just not make her worried. I feel I grew up as a bit of a weirdo, I was bullied and abused at early age in a very sick and ghetto enviroment, under a fascist regime that culminated in warfare when I was just 9, and all these enviromental and social factors had been way more traumatic that I could understand back when I was little. Now that Im a psychologist I realize I also have ADHD as it was probably an escape mechanism, till got pwrsonal problems I deal with, Im allright I think Im still happy in this terrible yet isolated country of despair, I dont think much about my eye but... Im affraid I will loose the other too as I realized Im diagnosed with Wagner Syndrome and my town has a dangerously high level of air pollution that will risk retinal detachment in my other eye as well... I look forward to a future as therapist and service dog trainer but really live in a shit hole country its depressive to just survive here... but I wanna ask you just one thing... I seem very clumsy, I often hit objects on my blind spots but I also have a weird walk. I dont understand but people say I walk weird and I tend to bend my head leaning forward and doing so I sometimes appear aggresive or just weird but I dont reallize that until Im told. It made me wonder if its because of my eye. I have also poor vision on my remaining eye and thats -7.5... sometimes I feel Im seeing the world through a hole from a box stuck on my head... I dont really realize how hard it is for me but sometimes I really feel tired and lazy and Im just not sure how much my eyesight affects my life. Do you have problems walking around with one eye? Thanks !
paint striper at work exploded in my eye right one all i see is blurness its been 4 days hospitals havent really treated it but anywho idk whats the chance of me been blind in my right eye but your video made me feel good
My elder bro lost his right eye when he was 8 yrs. That changed our family's life. He was brilliant in studies. Faltered thereafter. For years smile and laughter was gone from our household. But now he is 38, married with kids. He is amazing with driving and all other things imaginable. But he is NOT successful in his work just makes end meet. It pains me all the time. It also make me sad that he cant enjoy 3d movies n nd 3d games..apart from many other regular eye functions that he misses
I like that you don’t revolve your RUclips channel around your disability like a lot of other you tubers do to get more views. You show that you live a normal life just like everyone else does ,yet still throw in your story here and there. That’s how it should be. You do good.
GatorTv thank you! I appreciate that! some people tell me I milk it, but if I did it’s my fake eye to milk haha! but if I was doing this for views or money, like you said it’s probably would be mentioned in every video. I appreciate that you see what i’m trying to do so THANk YOU!
i am an one eyed since birth. i dont have any prosthetics. i just watched your video right now. i think it will help me alot. i need motivation and inspiration right now. thanks and God bless.
I love this video for everyone as well cause theres been times where my kids will ask something that im like that was soo damn rude... and it can be embarrassing for for me as a parent but there older now and really great my daughters love Dianna and look up to her and me too i could just see hanging out with her being a laid back chill session lol
Thank you for sharing your story. I had an accident when I was 3 years old, and well 18 operations later, I loss the battle at the age of 15. I am now 34, and its been a hard struggle as I chose not to go with a prosthetic eye. Some days do seem easier, but its nice to see there are people that relate.
Thank you thank you thank you so much for these videos, they honestly mean so much. I had my left eye removed in October and still am waiting for it to finish healing. My left eye was so diseased, and eventually went blind, but I never had full vision in it anyways. It was also a different color and crossed often. I am sooooo excited to get my prosthetic . Thank you
Great vid! I gradually lost my sight in my right eye herr about 7 years ago. Eventually had a retinal detachment from a surgery gone wrong...weak blood vessels inside my eye rupturing...but i wear a shell over my eye due to eye color change and shrinkage. I adapted well with depth perception. Had no issues at all driving or any other activities. Great video and awesome ideas! 😁😁😁😁🙌🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍👍
My daughter just got rb and we chose enucleation. Your videos give me lots of hope for her and how beautiful she will be despite her one eye. Thank you.
I have a fear of falling be cause it's hard to judge stepping up and down but I have discovered if I close my prosthetic eye I feel I can judge walking better. Would like to hear your comments on that.
I love your videos. I only see out of 1 eye due to 2 retina detachments. My bad eye is smaller than my good eye. I hate taking pics because I look horrible. I've been watching your videos and I feel good after watching them. Thank you very much.
i’m 15 and i’ve had one eye since i was 1, but this video was sooo helpful! i also have my left eye only so it’s so nice to relate someone! thank you so much!
Diana you forgot to mention one thing: our equilibrium can get a little off at times. I find that if I close my no. Seeing eye that it helps to get me equaled out again. Thank you for sharing❤️
I was born premature too but lost my eye at 11 because of it... Im affraid I may loose the other and if that happens here where I live... I would not need to live any longer. Where do you come from? Would you recommend a good specialist or share any advise with me? The doctors Im seeing seem to be sick of their jobs they just want my money.
I am 63 and had my right eye removed at 2 months old. You actually only lose 10% of your peripheral vision. My restriction on my license is a right outside mirror. These days that's no big deal. In 1972 my first car was a 1966 Ford Galaxy 500 I had to drill holes on the right side and install a mirror. You could get a small blind spot mirror and attached to the right outside mirror to help. ENJOY life don't ENDURE it! Mike from Milwaukee.
That's amazing!!! I'm so happy for you! I was preemie too. At one point about 10 years ago, it was deemed possibly good enough but now I don't know if my vision is good enough but I'll try again. What an incredible feeling that must be! I'd give anything to be able to drive.
This is SO SO useful!! I’m an artist and a writer (not professional, I’m 14 lol-) and so I make characters and such! My main character whom is closest to my heart only has one eye, so this is great advice for also writing the character more realistically!! Thanks!!
I have lost my left eye after 17 and i have facing so much problems and so much pain in my eyes my eyes was also srinked I think I m looking worst I m visually handicapped person I don't know what can I do I m very depressed for my srinked eye doctor said I have retina detachment and my vison will never come back my eyes will srink soon😶😶
Okay I've been one-eyed since 3 years old and never tapped into the one eyed ppl community and I'm so glad I did 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️ Like this will sound weird but it's amazing that the "imaginary wall" idea feels like a lil secret shared between all of us its rly cute xD specially how u said it Loved this video tbh and im subbing now!!!
How do you put on false lashes??? I lost my right eyeball about a year ago and just now am finding you. Please swnd me all the tips and tricks. And thank God for you dude!!!
I lost my left eye to cancer at the age of 5, I'm now 38. Not gonna lie life has been hard, when I was in school I got picked one and made fun of, didn't have many friends, was called a one eyed freak ( saw someone else was called that in the comments, I'm so sorry, I know how bad that hurts). But back in the 80s survival rate wasn't that great, I had a 50/50 chance. I have my good and bad days with it (suffer with depression, anxiety and PTSD) I always ask my boyfriend what it's like to see with two eyes, and he's tried to cover up one of his to see if he can do everything I do with just one ( he couldn't) not gonna lie it was pretty funny watching him walk into the wall, and completely miss the cup when he tried to pour water in it 😂. I'm not sure what my point really was, but I really thought I was the only one with one eye.
Hi, my right not working, actually i suffered from brain tumer when i was small now, my eye is still there but i cant see with my right eyes. I cant see 3 D movies do you face this issue as well
I’m getting eye removal surgery in two weeks, I was born at 5 months in order to keep me alive they had to raise my air tank pressure which sent to much pressure to my head my optics nerve “exploded”. Over the years (i’m 17 now) I had a lot of headaches, migraines, etc. I’m actually quite nervous for the operation but this video really helped me relax
I’ve been blind out of my left eye since I was born. I still have an eye it’s just smaller and doesn’t work XD. It doesn’t usually bother me and I usually just forget about it but recently I started driving and I just got into hiking and realized I kinda have a tough time with depth perception. I’ve just noticed that driving seems more difficult then my moms explaining it, and it’s kinda tough for me to read the terrain easily. I had never really thought about how my eye effected me cause my body had adapted but all these new experience are making me kinda nervous/self conscious about it. Thanks for having a video on this it definitely made me feel better and reassured me that I’m not going crazy lol.
I recently lost my eye due to domestic abuse. I’m 41 years and I didn’t even know what to research when trying to find information about it. It totally sucks! It’s been about a month now trying to deal. My eye ball was split in half and I have no retina. I see too much light and the depth perception is off. My eyeball is still in my eye waiting to heal. I don’t know what’s going on. I see bright light everywhere. Thanks for sharing your video seriously would have felt so alone if I didn’t see this video .
Do you experience mild blindness in one eye or is it clear 20/20 vision? I have two eyes that blurr up especially during winter.. :/ I'm having a lot of trouble seeing clear edges with -1.75 each eye drives me crazy..Do you suffer from blurred edges in vision?
I lost my eye almost two years ago and I still find myself parking my car about four feet short of where I should. In other words I'm leaving a big space in front of my car.
i've also only one eye left, my right eye is still there and i have even motoric skills but it's completely covered with a gray layer. i never hid it behind colored lenses. I don't know if this is the right decision.
My boyfriend is actually blind in 1 eye and I wish I could understand what he’s going through everyday 😣 does having 1 eye always leave you in pain everyday or make you want to always sleep? He constantly gets headaches and it’s hard for me to see him deal with this. Is there anything anyone would recommend, I would really appreciate it 😔
Hi Diane, this is dinesh from india am also one eyed person my left eye has no vision and this is 1st time to see your video, it makes more inspiration and energetic.thanks alot
Can relate, omg. I'm still living with my glaucoma on my right eye. I only got like less than 5% eyesight function on my right eye. So literally, i'm only using my left eye for my daily activities. People sometimes see me in strange look because of my right eye's strabismus. But i tried to get over it. And from your tips, i'll try educate 'em 😂 An one-eyed people can do life normally and it makes me proud!! Thank you for the amazing tips and i wish u have an amazing life!
I just lost my right eye from a car accident so I have to adjust to life and getting a glass eye and your videos are so helpful and inspiring! Thank you!
Demiana bishara I am so sorry. I lost mine in an accident around 13 years ago. You're not alone. It can be a struggle but you are brave for talking about it!
Songasa thank you so much! I lost mine 2 months ago, it takes some getting used to for sure but it makes me feel so much better and more hopeful for the future knowing there are people who are like me and still living life happy and to the fullest!!
I am 32 old man from India. Lost my left eye at the age of 11. I have been very confident too all my life just like you. I agree with every tip you mentioned. Cheers !
I'm also monocular, and it's bullshit but India dosent allow us to officially (I guess you can bribe your way through) get a driver's licence. Atleast that was true 2 years ago. Dunno if anything has changed.
Just know, there are people out here who dont take depth perception for granted. I am sorry for your loss and I hope you learn to prosper despite your injury. Tinnitus sucks, but Im gonna live my life anyway. You are a ferrari. Dont let your scratches control you.
@@shazebkazi2376 yes, I do have the license. I lost the vision of my left eye like 3 months back and I'm finding difficult to drive.. I'm unable to visualise the depth, perception and distance.. will I be able to adjust to these?
i am also one eyed persion can i working 8 hours work in front of computer it is good for my eyers or not please anyone give me answer of this question.
Heyy, I have a little question, how is it possible that your eyes are moving perfectly together even when your one is prosthetic and have no vision? I am just wandering because I was born blind in one eye, and I would be super happy if there was a way to move both of my eyes equaly.
I just lost my eye on on July 22, 2023 due to a freak weed eating accident. 9 days before my 23rd birthday. I was helping my uncle to save up money to go to truck school and now here I am.
I lost my right eye 10 months ago due to an infection while getting eye lea injections now legally blind n hard to move on but seeking inspiration n tips to move on in life.
Hey just wanted to tell you I subscribed to your channel Because I really support what you're doing and you're absolutely right people that I think you're video will help about a great deal I lost my vision in one of my eyes at 15 years old plain war games would bb guns.. Anyways keep I hope to see more of your videos like I said I've only seen to talk to you later once again I'm proud of you
Thank you for sharing you experience. I've lost my left eye six months ago and I'm trying to adapt myself. I've practiced some driving and I'm ok with that now. But I've always practiced moutain bike and I haven't tryied it since than. What do think about it? Is it hard? I don't want to hurt my good eye! Thank you!
I'm also an one-eyed freak. My left eye is prosthetic.I thought I was the only one but now I know that I'm not alone. I lost my eye when I was 2 years old. Now, I'm 15. It bothers me everyday the way how people say things about me. But now it doesn't. Thank you so much for inspiring me. And thank you so much for the tips. It really helps💕
Rule Number One: Do NOT call yourself a freak! People will see you the way you see yourself, I promise you that. I'm so happy my videos can help you! It's encouraging to make more! There are more of us than you know, never feel alone! xx

Can you see out of the eye?
Me 2..also my left eye is prosthetic
Just think about a fictional character who has one eye such as Big boss from metal gear. It makes you a hell of a lot better.
i also lost my left eye when i was 3 years old, and now i'm 14. i'm being depressed about it.
Can relate so much to this video with having one eye my whole life!
I'm so happy I can be here to do that for you. I didn't have this growing up and my main goal is to make people like me feel more normal!

Bro u face problems like blur vision or any other eye problem??? And in future new problem with one eye will arise or not ??
Same here I also don't have right eye so I always be in their left side!!
@@alexist9495 Sorry for the very late response. I can drive no problem. My field of vision is smaller on my right side so I have to tuen my head a little bit to see my right mirror and I have to check regularly what is going on on that side because I don’t see it in my peripheral vision, unlike the left side of the car. Otherwise, it’s pretty normal.
I lost my left eye playing with fire works and i struggled alot but watching your videos gave me the confidence i needed to go out and not worry about how people stare or say
Kinda the same..but for me was on a military training drill with explosive, a guy set it off at the wrong time..
msg me +918851518467
Can i get your whatsapp number
What a stupid fucking way to lose your eye
@@Ricardo5911jakakak u don't know someone's pain man😭
I lost my left eye on January 20 2020 at the age of 25 due to a faulty airbag explosion while driving 11 mph (freak accident). I had 20/20 vision in both eyes my entire life before this. It has definitely been a life changing adjustment, but videos like this remind me that there is hope. Thank you for all that you do!
Same I was in a motorcycle accident in April 2022. My optic nerve is completely damaged and my left eye is completely blind.
I lost vision in my left eye when i was 5. I was sooo insecure about it. Id skip school, quit jobs, bc i hated when people would talk about my eye. One day my uncle told me "Its not that big of a deal, you're treating your eye like its a controlling boyfriend." It spoke volumes to me. Also God is #1.
SAME! I would quit everything. Then one day someone told me in the bluntest but loving way-- who the fuck cares? and it's so true! If someone cares more than we do then they need to get their priorities straight lol!
@@nerdydiana Lmao I agree! I stopped letting it hold me back bc I refuse to like an Eye keep me in bondage from living my best life. Also, watching your videos makes me feel inspired. ❤❤
Wow I thought I was the one with that feeling I lost a few jobs because I I thought people always stare at me I have glaucoma thank.you for sharing your comment don't forget to always have a great day
This was absolutely wonderful, I love how you've tackled the situation and adapted. I recently lost my sight in my left eye. It difficult mentally physically and personally. Thank you for this. You're doing a great service.
I have a friend who recently told me she was blind in her left eye. I thought watching this video would help me understand it more without making her feel uncomfortable. Thanks!
Love this. I was born blind in my left eye. I'm 44 now and the depth perception struggle is real. It's amazing how many things require that. Driving is by far the most dangerous... Parallel parking and parking garages are my nemesis and I joke my car is a "bumper car" because for me, I constantly hit the wall in front of me in garages. My husband once moved the shelf I used on the side of the garage that let me know I was in... Yeah... I demolished his work bench but at least it wasn't the house. 🤣 Any type of racquet sport is a bust, ping pong and pool are downright hilarious. Even riding bikes and skiing can be a little tricky (stay far away from trees and posts!) I recently took up painting... Went to pour paint on the canvas... And poured it BEHIND the canvas lol. But with enough time, you adapt and come up with lots of strategies to help you. But seriously, when you have one eye, you really do need to drive like a grandma... No exceptions!! ❤️
O no,!44 too with almost one eye...
It will be 3 moonths the 17th, and this is very emotioal. No emotional support. Can we talk?
Just found your videos, YOU ARE GREAT!!!! I am 63 y.o., and had my right eye removed at 6 mo. I contracted a staff infection when I was born. I experienced everything you talked about, kids are kids, no matter how old they are. It s the way of the world. My parents did me the biggest favor they could have, they never told me I was disabled. I have never considered myself disabled. To suggest another video, tell some of the things you've done with it to freak other people out, just for fun. I know I have a few stories...
I lost my left eye due to melanoma almost three months ago. I have actually seen this video before my surgery and it helped me a lot for what to expect after. Thank you :)
I also have one eye. I lost my left eye due to Retinoblastoma when I was one. Hearing someone else talk about their experience has really helped me become more comfortable with myself and realise that my one-eye life dosen't define me. I'm currently 15 and I used to be so ashamed of the fact that I only had one eye. And it honestly took me up until this past summer for me to gather the courage to tell people because I was so scared that I was forever going to be known as "the freak with one eye". I am now much more comfortable with myself and I now know that it's not my cancer-journey or the fact that I only have one eye that define me, but rather my opinions and who I am in relationships with friends and family that define me. Keep doing what you do because you inspire so many and I can assure you that a lot of people out there feel much better about themselves after watching your videos!
I was born 5 months premature, I stayed in the hospital for 3 months fighting for my life, in order to keep me alive the doctors had to up the pressure of the air I was inhaling and with all that built up pressure the optic nerve in my left eye broke off. I’ve been blind since birth and constant pain, tears, doctors visits.
Seeing this video made me really happy to know I’m not alone.

The depth perception loss depends on the individual. I haven't lost any and went right back to living normally right away - including surfing, driving, working out, running stairs, eating, shopping, landscape photography, drawing, designing, etc. If you are already athletic and have very good spatial awareness, it may be an easy transition.
😊I recently saw your page, good to see you here
I wouldn’t have even noticed your one eye if you didn’t address it. You’re beautiful
thank you!
Me to
Sighs, you are such a beautiful person!! you have spectacular muscle movement of the prosthetic which makes you look so good.
I have a prosthetic right eye since birth Im 58 now. I never had any issues aside from grade school where kids would ask questions about my eye.
It was never a problem for me losing it at birth not like someone who just loses an eye what they must overcome. I played hockey was MVP, raced dirt bikes was 2 time amateur motocross national champion, drag race bikes...never had any depth perception issues. My only tip would be to wear glasses to protect the one eye you have left, I cant say how many times glasses may have saved my eye.
Anyone else out there feeling depressed or not normal.....let me give you some advice from living on this rock for 58 years.......there are some people out there with far worse things wrong with them than this, think of them and what they must be going through....your problems in life will seem less important....in essence....just get on with life and don't worry about what others say/think.
Moto Z I have a daughter born with one eye working (left) and the other eye pretty much useless (right) , she still has her non working eye because somehow I have faith she will one day hopefully see out of both eyes as technology advances, she is 3 now and I’m just scared about what others might say or do to her when she grows up because of her condition and I beat myself up every single day because of this and break into tears.. but your story gave me a huge smile on my face knowing that you did all that with just ONE eye... incredible! My daughter is extremely smart and advanced for her age and hope she can conquer life just as well as everyone else with one eye.. thank you for your words brother really means a lot to me.
I’m 19 and can only see out of my left eye, this hit me really hard. Thanks for the advice, it really helps to put things in perspective.
@@littymctidies4550 I can relate to how you feel, my Dad probably felt the same way but never let it show.
Believe me when I say this....She will NOT have any issues in life, just look at her, does she seem like she is having any issues?? I bet NO. KIds can sometimes be inquisitive and I find it best that you may want to have some answers she can lay on them. Like yes I have one eye that is different but don't let that stop you from being my friend.
I had some of the hottest girlfriends out there waaaay over my league.....
Life today is much different than when I was growing up, people are more open and kind these days.
Unless she wants to be in the military fly a plane or drive a truck....the sky is the limit.
@@alecdeakin2109 Alec....dont let a little thing like one eye slow you down.....adapt and overcome.

Wow! This is great. I’m 75, have had a “glass eye” since I was 10 and this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone talking about people with one eye. The junk you get in your eye when you wake, the rubbing your eye only to find out later it’s been looking up while you were looking straight ahead. Enjoyed the tips. If you don’t have a mirror to check, use your phone. I have several stories about having one eye which can be an ice breaker if you’re not self conscious. I think there are only 2 things I’ve missed not being twin eyed.
1. Those pictures where you stare at for awhile and supposedly see an image. (Or maybe that’s just me.)
2. 3D. Would love to experience 3D.
Anyway, thanks for the lovely, informative video. You did a terrific job.
Thank you for being confident and yourself . I lost my right eye at 15 I’m 21 now . Thank you for the tips . I’m buying eye drops today !
I didnt think losing my right eye would be this impactful to me emotionally, but it turns out my brain is super serious about my body parts working.
I have never write a single comment in RUclips but I have to say this….. I just lost my left eye two weeks ago during an unsuccessful Retina detachment surgery. And cannot stop thinking of how my new life would be like. Specially as a sport guy wondering wether I would be able to practice soccer again or not. However your energy and tips gives me hope that everything is going to be fine. Thank you Diana 🙏🏾
I lost my left eye on a car accident... Now I have a prosthesis and I feel so bad when people ask me what's wrong with my eye... Lost a lot of self esteem and confidance, can't even stare at someone's eyes... 🙄
Same happened with me i cant make eye contact with anyone 😐
Come one man. Read of the life of Helen Keller. She led an amazing life and really contributed. Don't let that bother you please- I find that being upfront about everything works well. Just lead with "Yes I have a false eye, can we move on?"
The “imaginary wall” part made me laugh so hard. It’s so true!
Diana:You are both beautiful and inspiring-I have a family member battling stage 4.....thanks for your vids-your love of life and joy is a showcase for all
Same happened with me when i was 1 and i lost my left eye,, but when doctor put glass eye after some day i broke it they replaced it but unfortunately again broke after few days.then doctor said we will put this when he will be 14 or 15. As my parents took me to the eye surgeon when i grown up the doctor said we can't put eye coz face size changed your empty eye hole is smaller we need to operate and it's very risky so we came back hopelessly... Im 31 now please tell me what should i do now.. 😞😞 it affects my entire life i have no job people scared when they see my face....
You which country?
@@rvk2136 I think you too from India like me right..!!!🤔🙄
My eyes is also prosthetic! I thought I was alone... I always make jokes at school so kids dont thing I'm sad, but it's weird. I've had one for 5 years. I'm currently 17
Haha I can relate, making jokes makes it so you feel less alone
Great video & informative. You’re so beautiful ❤️ I’ve had a prosthetic eye for 15 years now. I’m still extremely self-conscious of the way I look around strangers or people I don’t know well. However around family and friends I am the 1st to crack jokes on myself.
Try it out with strangers too! It helps me be more comfortable when I can make the joke before they can :)
She is so pretty
i know righttttt
Really good video! I’ve had one eye since I was 3, and I literally do most of the things you mentioned in this😂brilliant 😌
Yay!! I'm trying to think of more cause I definitely want to do another one!
Diana Moore You definitely should! They’re so interesting and we need more of that on RUclips 😌
Why do people get so scared of having one eye? I don't even get it. I would trade spots.
MechBoltXL Haha I guess it can be kinda cool sometimes 😜
@@MissKerrbear wait what eye did you lose and in your opinion what's wrong with wearing an eye patch. I don't even get it. It looks badass wearing one.
Thanks Doll!! I Love you and your videos! I lost my right eye in 2012 and its Great to see someone going through a similar situation and being open about it.
of course! it was hard to open up but I know that there are plenty of people out there like me who need to hear something from someone who is just like them! happy i can help!
Omg Diana...love it very helpful...I lost my eye sight in the left eye on 2002 but just got my prosthetic eye last month..I use ointment at night before I sleep...it helps...I love love love makeup...you are sooo right it's so hard to make things look even .... love this video and the variety lol.😍😍😘
I'm happy it helps! Try a humidifier! Target is selling one from Vicks for around $32! Good luck!! xoxo
Lost my right eye when I was 15 in 1987 and got my prosthetic from the ocular restoration clinic. These are awesome people to work with if you need to get one. Now to my question to you do you get what I call ice cream headaches in the winter? Snowblowing is the worst!
Hi there.
Your videos are like a breath of fresh air. I am visually impaired in one eye. The constant thought of isolation , and lack of motivation is hampering my ability to do things & think straight. I am so obsessed with trying to do everything in my power to forcefully look from my affected eye & constantly searching for treatments when doctors have virtually given up. I hope u can relate. How do u manage to find your daily dose of motivation & the urge to do things & not being bothered by issues ???
Thank You for a great video, I will be receiving my eye in a few weeks.
I lost my left eye when I was just 11... I still remember the last crumbling visions and all the procedures trying to save it. Its all gone now, it doesnt make amy difference if I close it or not.
I never really worried about loosing my eye, thats strange I was not even afraid of surgeries, after that I started to regain vision slowly and slightly,... but then I lost it all, no signs of light but i would lie to my mother that Im getting better just not make her worried.
I feel I grew up as a bit of a weirdo, I was bullied and abused at early age in a very sick and ghetto enviroment, under a fascist regime that culminated in warfare when I was just 9, and all these enviromental and social factors had been way more traumatic that I could understand back when I was little. Now that Im a psychologist I realize I also have ADHD as it was probably an escape mechanism, till got pwrsonal problems I deal with, Im allright I think Im still happy in this terrible yet isolated country of despair, I dont think much about my eye but... Im affraid I will loose the other too as I realized Im diagnosed with Wagner Syndrome and my town has a dangerously high level of air pollution that will risk retinal detachment in my other eye as well... I look forward to a future as therapist and service dog trainer but really live in a shit hole country its depressive to just survive here... but I wanna ask you just one thing... I seem very clumsy, I often hit objects on my blind spots but I also have a weird walk. I dont understand but people say I walk weird and I tend to bend my head leaning forward and doing so I sometimes appear aggresive or just weird but I dont reallize that until Im told. It made me wonder if its because of my eye. I have also poor vision on my remaining eye and thats -7.5... sometimes I feel Im seeing the world through a hole from a box stuck on my head... I dont really realize how hard it is for me but sometimes I really feel tired and lazy and Im just not sure how much my eyesight affects my life.
Do you have problems walking around with one eye?
Thanks !
I also have an eye problem, 😭 contact me on WhatsApp 7024966967, i want to share, it is very difficult to drive on night now😭😭

paint striper at work exploded in my eye right one all i see is blurness its been 4 days hospitals havent really treated it but anywho idk whats the chance of me been blind in my right eye but your video made me feel good
My elder bro lost his right eye when he was 8 yrs. That changed our family's life. He was brilliant in studies. Faltered thereafter. For years smile and laughter was gone from our household. But now he is 38, married with kids. He is amazing with driving and all other things imaginable. But he is NOT successful in his work just makes end meet. It pains me all the time. It also make me sad that he cant enjoy 3d movies n nd 3d games..apart from many other regular eye functions that he misses
I like that you don’t revolve your RUclips channel around your disability like a lot of other you tubers do to get more views. You show that you live a normal life just like everyone else does ,yet still throw in your story here and there. That’s how it should be. You do good.
GatorTv thank you! I appreciate that! some people tell me I milk it, but if I did it’s my fake eye to milk haha! but if I was doing this for views or money, like you said it’s probably would be mentioned in every video. I appreciate that you see what i’m trying to do so THANk YOU!
i am an one eyed since birth. i dont have any prosthetics. i just watched your video right now. i think it will help me alot. i need motivation and inspiration right now. thanks and God bless.
Wow, same.
I love that we can gather here and connect with people who are similar to us in a specific way.
This helps after injuring one of my eyes. Thank you. I love your personality!
I love this video for everyone as well cause theres been times where my kids will ask something that im like that was soo damn rude... and it can be embarrassing for for me as a parent but there older now and really great my daughters love Dianna and look up to her and me too i could just see hanging out with her being a laid back chill session lol
Thank you for sharing your story. I had an accident when I was 3 years old, and well 18 operations later, I loss the battle at the age of 15. I am now 34, and its been a hard struggle as I chose not to go with a prosthetic eye. Some days do seem easier, but its nice to see there are people that relate.
Thank you thank you thank you so much for these videos, they honestly mean so much. I had my left eye removed in October and still am waiting for it to finish healing. My left eye was so diseased, and eventually went blind, but I never had full vision in it anyways. It was also a different color and crossed often. I am sooooo excited to get my prosthetic . Thank you
what happened if you dont put a prosthetic eye and left a hole there? how painful does it get???
Great vid! I gradually lost my sight in my right eye herr about 7 years ago. Eventually had a retinal detachment from a surgery gone wrong...weak blood vessels inside my eye rupturing...but i wear a shell over my eye due to eye color change and shrinkage. I adapted well with depth perception. Had no issues at all driving or any other activities. Great video and awesome ideas! 😁😁😁😁🙌🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍👍
Bro you are the big boss from metal gear. Respect.
My daughter just got rb and we chose enucleation. Your videos give me lots of hope for her and how beautiful she will be despite her one eye. Thank you.
I have a fear of falling be cause it's hard to judge stepping up and down but I have discovered if I close my prosthetic eye I feel I can judge walking better. Would like to hear your comments on that.
U walk better when you close one eye
Thank you Diana. This helps a lot with starting into a now one-eyed life since Oct 21 after an archery accident. Looks like it can be lived. .)
I also have problem😭, contact me on whatsapp 7024966967
I was born with 1 eye so i never really experienced normal sight so i don't know what to compare it to
T Ashton same bro it’s crazy cause I always felt like I was the only one
I love your videos. I only see out of 1 eye due to 2 retina detachments. My bad eye is smaller than my good eye. I hate taking pics because I look horrible. I've been watching your videos and I feel good after watching them. Thank you very much.
Me too.its been almost 9yrs now.

Is it possible to get driving licence for one eyed person in Anustralia and new Zealand. Anyone knows please help me out ?
I was born premature and I have no sight in my right eye and about to get my license I just have to take my road test
Same but just got my learner's couple months ago
I was born premature too but lost my eye at 11 because of it... Im affraid I may loose the other and if that happens here where I live... I would not need to live any longer.
Where do you come from? Would you recommend a good specialist or share any advise with me?
The doctors Im seeing seem to be sick of their jobs they just want my money.
I still dont know if I can drive... I never tried to learn. But I can ride a bike... I dont know if that makes a difference.
I am 63 and had my right eye removed at 2 months old. You actually only lose 10% of your peripheral vision. My restriction on my license is a right outside mirror. These days that's no big deal. In 1972 my first car was a 1966 Ford Galaxy 500 I had to drill holes on the right side and install a mirror. You could get a small blind spot mirror and attached to the right outside mirror to help. ENJOY life don't ENDURE it! Mike from Milwaukee.
That's amazing!!! I'm so happy for you! I was preemie too. At one point about 10 years ago, it was deemed possibly good enough but now I don't know if my vision is good enough but I'll try again. What an incredible feeling that must be! I'd give anything to be able to drive.
This is SO SO useful!! I’m an artist and a writer (not professional, I’m 14 lol-) and so I make characters and such! My main character whom is closest to my heart only has one eye, so this is great advice for also writing the character more realistically!! Thanks!!
Do you publicly publish some of your work yet?

I lost my left eye to cancer at the age of 5, I'm now 38. Not gonna lie life has been hard, when I was in school I got picked one and made fun of, didn't have many friends, was called a one eyed freak ( saw someone else was called that in the comments, I'm so sorry, I know how bad that hurts). But back in the 80s survival rate wasn't that great, I had a 50/50 chance. I have my good and bad days with it (suffer with depression, anxiety and PTSD) I always ask my boyfriend what it's like to see with two eyes, and he's tried to cover up one of his to see if he can do everything I do with just one ( he couldn't) not gonna lie it was pretty funny watching him walk into the wall, and completely miss the cup when he tried to pour water in it 😂. I'm not sure what my point really was, but I really thought I was the only one with one eye.
Made me laugh and cry! Hi beautiful!!!👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏💅💅💅🤳🤳🤳🙌👐

Hi, my right not working, actually i suffered from brain tumer when i was small now, my eye is still there but i cant see with my right eyes. I cant see 3 D movies do you face this issue as well
I’m getting eye removal surgery in two weeks, I was born at 5 months in order to keep me alive they had to raise my air tank pressure which sent to much pressure to my head my optics nerve “exploded”. Over the years (i’m 17 now) I had a lot of headaches, migraines, etc. I’m actually quite nervous for the operation but this video really helped me relax

Thank for your sharing! ☺️👏🏻👏🏻
Does anyone have major itching in the tissue around your prosthetic?
yess girl spill the tea with that story time! lol
bahahaha omg it was ON STAGE during play rehearsal!!!
I’ve been blind out of my left eye since I was born. I still have an eye it’s just smaller and doesn’t work XD. It doesn’t usually bother me and I usually just forget about it but recently I started driving and I just got into hiking and realized I kinda have a tough time with depth perception. I’ve just noticed that driving seems more difficult then my moms explaining it, and it’s kinda tough for me to read the terrain easily. I had never really thought about how my eye effected me cause my body had adapted but all these new experience are making me kinda nervous/self conscious about it. Thanks for having a video on this it definitely made me feel better and reassured me that I’m not going crazy lol.
I recently lost my eye due to domestic abuse. I’m 41 years and I didn’t even know what to research when trying to find information about it. It totally sucks! It’s been about a month now trying to deal. My eye ball was split in half and I have no retina. I see too much light and the depth perception is off. My eyeball is still in my eye waiting to heal. I don’t know what’s going on. I see bright light everywhere. Thanks for sharing your video seriously would have felt so alone if I didn’t see this video .
Omg I’m so sorry. The same thing happened to me, I’m living girllll!! Living
i had cancer in my eye.... i had to get my eye removed at the age of 10

I do the same
So do I! I've lost my left eye six months ago... it's been hard...
i've also only one eye left, my right eye is still there and i have even motoric skills but it's completely covered with a gray layer. i never hid it behind colored lenses. I don't know if this is the right decision.
My boyfriend is actually blind in 1 eye and I wish I could understand what he’s going through everyday 😣 does having 1 eye always leave you in pain everyday or make you want to always sleep? He constantly gets headaches and it’s hard for me to see him deal with this. Is there anything anyone would recommend, I would really appreciate it 😔

Can relate, omg. I'm still living with my glaucoma on my right eye. I only got like less than 5% eyesight function on my right eye. So literally, i'm only using my left eye for my daily activities.

Im so thankful that you're making more videos!!!

Heyy, I have a little question, how is it possible that your eyes are moving perfectly together even when your one is prosthetic and have no vision?
I am just wandering because I was born blind in one eye, and I would be super happy if there was a way to move both of my eyes equaly.
I have a similar problem , I see slightly with my left eye after I had an accident. I love to hear other people experiences who have similar issue.
I just lost my eye on on July 22, 2023 due to a freak weed eating accident. 9 days before my 23rd birthday. I was helping my uncle to save up money to go to truck school and now here I am.
So your prosthetic is awesome. Mine is not, when I look down my fake eye stays open appearing to stare forward. Ugh I hate it.
As soon as I lost my eye I went on a long drive and realized I my depth perception

Thank you for sharing you experience. I've lost my left eye six months ago and I'm trying to adapt myself. I've practiced some driving and I'm ok with that now. But I've always practiced moutain bike and I haven't tryied it since than. What do think about it? Is it hard? I don't want to hurt my good eye! Thank you!
Have you now overcome the fear or riding?
