its confirned that anyone with only one eye can get a Licence in Qatar. but the condition is that your one eye should have a minimmum of 9/6 vision, irrespective of you being completely blind in the other eye.
i have got it for my father who suffers from same problem so this is a confirmed statement.
You are welcome and just dont worry dude. I am confident that you will not face any problems inshaAllah. Enjoy your life and remember me in your prayers. :-)
To Aroop: - Thank you very much folks... for your sincerity...
yessssssssssss!!!! I hope and pray that I would be allowed to enroll for a driving lesson inspite of having such condition... Thanks to all of you guys who gave me an honest answer...
May God Bless you and your family Always Guys. Thanks a lot...
"Since (by definition), binocular depth perception requires two functioning eyes, a person with only one functioning eye has no binocular depth perception."
There is ABSOLUTELY no problem in getting a driving license for "one eyed" drivers. All what is needed is a good vision in "One Eye". I would recommend you to go to the Traffic Departmemt in Madina Khalifa and get your eyetest done there. Just let them know that you can see perfectly in one eye only. Or you can go to any licensed optition, and get your eye test confidently.
You don't even need to go to any doctor for any adjustments at all!!!
I am 100% sure of what I am saying, so please do not worry :-)
I got it from my past illness.. it is not totally blind, but partially blind, can see things but not totally clear...
So my Visions are 1 eye = 20/20 - clear vision & the other eye = counting fingers/can see BIg things, can read Big Bold Letters... That's the exact case Guys...
Please do not drive bcoz it will cause danger to 1.6million population in Qatar, please think about their family, beloved and their kids, etc if you drove...Let drive after you cure your eye!

I have checked MOI rules and as far as someone has good vision in one eye, he or she qualifies for a driving license.
Good luck!
you are wrong "nomercy". I lived in the U.K for a year and a half, and "one eye" drivers are allowed there... Please update your knowledge :-)
My bad .. couldn't resist it.. Comment modified :o(
Brti!!!!
"In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king!"
In Europe you are allowed to drive with one eye in special circumstances.
Lucky Lucino..you may be correct, better to check with MOI Traffic section..
LL Anyway you cannot see with two eyes wide open macha..:)
We are discussing about passing the eye test for DL. not what is the definition of binocular depth :)
Have you thought of glasses?
Lucky:
"Since (by definition), binocular depth perception requires two functioning eyes, a person with only one functioning eye has no binocular depth perception."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception
Fact!
well, with how people drive here, it should not make a difference.
I know for sure that in Europe you would not be allowed to drive .
I absolutely second what "aroop" say. some people comment here without knowing the ground realities
Ken Lee - Ha Ha ha ha 1.6 million people in danger :)

"With only one eye you will have no depth perception, so you should not be driving."
wrong. You will get adjusted to the depth in a short period of time - according to Dr. Mustaffa (eye Surgeon - HMC specialist unit)
ok Guys thanks for all you comments.
I got it from my past illness.. it is not totally blind, but partially blind, can see things but not totally clear...

Thanks...
whats the legislation on this?? from MoI?
Please do not drive bcoz it will cause danger to 1.6million population in Qatar, please think about their family, beloved and their kids, etc if you drove...Let drive after you cure your eye!
NOT ALLOWED.
Sorry , but you had me creased up picturing you at the eye test with one hand over the eye , reading the board :o)
Seriously, I think Baldrick is right. Due to safety issues, you should consider not going for a license..
Driving depends a lot on peripheral vision which will be a problem for you. It's better to keep yourself safe by not opting to drive.
With only one eye you will have no depth perception, so you should not be driving.
