15. Left eye...blind spot in the central vision.

Whatever I look directly at with that eye only...is just not there! But the periphery around that small area in that eye is fine. Vision in right eye is 20/20 after the cataract surgery, so I only need reading glasses, and as of today, I'm still good to drive.

I'd say 10% vision loss in left eye - central vision only.

I also have a problem with the optic nerve in the right eye...but that has been stable for a few years now.

Glad you are well, True Dough. Be careful with that lawn mower!
