Oculus and Partially Blind or other Site Problems?

Good morning.

I am checking to see how/if any of the Oculus products would work for someone who only has vision in one eye. Moreover, in the bad eye they have astigmatism and lazy eye. I have asked Oculus Support and they didn't have an answer but suggested I ask in the forum.

Thank you,
James

If you only have vision in one eye, why would the other eye matter at all? 

I guess it would work just like me closing one eye in my Rift. 

I wonder if something like the piMax would be better for you because of the larger FOV. Ideally, it would be great if you could turn of the other eye somehow in the driver and just render one eye for higher FPS.

Well, I guess if their other eye isn't even looking at the screen then it might look funny, but shouldn't be any worse than real life for them.  If you're really worried about it, put a piece of paper over the lens

It should be exactly the same as it would in real life I think.
