I wear an artificial eye on my left side, so my left is my blind side. Using a clock comparison, if I look straight ahead, I’d guess I can see between 10 o’clock and 4 o’clock. If someone approaches me from my blind side, obviously I can not see them. One trick I use is to watch the eyes of the people in my field of vision. If someone approaches from my left, people on my right tend to glance at the person approaching. I use this visual cue to keep track of what is happening on my blind side. Did you ever have someone walk into a room and you can’t see them, but you know they are there? This may seem odd, but at times I can feel someone approaching from my blind side based on the energy they give off. If I am meeting with someone, I prefer to sit in front of them or have them on my blind side. This forces me to turn my head a bit to see them which makes me appear less cross-eyed. Make sense? If not, throw me a comment. From a driving perspective, see separate post (3-Feb-2010).
