this is just something i'm curious about. if a person has only one eye, (say they lost their left eye in an accident of some sort) can they still fly private/commercial, airplanes/helicopters?

IIRC, there was a guy in northern MN who flew ag planes a few years ago who was blind in one eye, but I can't attest to the legality of it.

We have at least one pilot at my airline, with only one eye. So yes. it's possible.
I've flown with the guy before, he is an outstanding pilot. He is also one hell of a shot with a rifle.

Absolute worst case you could do some research and if you aren't eligable for a medical you could go light sport.
