Career in Law Enforcement - Monocular Vision
I was born with myelinated retinal nerve fibers (or as my doctor has always called it, myelinated optic nerve), and as such I don’t see out of my left eye. it’s not that there’s a black screen but all I see is a major blur. when focusing with my strong eye closed, I actually can see like a finger waving in my face for instance, or a fist about to punch me, it’s still a major blur and if you waved a hot dog in front of that eye I’d Probably guess that it’s a finger. i don’t know what other monocular people see, but my vision over there isn’t just a “black screen”like how good-visioned folks probably imagine it. I’m 21 years old.
ANYWHO..
i am wanting to pursue a career as a law enforcement officer. I’m located in Alabama but willing to relocate—
Is there anyone out there who’s familiar with this being possible or not? From what I found online, many agencies will reject people with monocular vision, but there might be a chance certain smaller or slower agencies will make an exception? are there states that dont have such strict vision standards?
