See my earlier posting (I'm one of them 8%).  What happens is that you
learn to compensate for the problem - in fact you don't really know you
have a problem.  You just pick out different visual cues.  Note that
in high school I was a 3rd baseman and all-conf. wide receiver.
Though, I admit, I'm not as comfortable driving at night (never had a
night accident though - just a day one).
