I am now fortunate enough to afford a vehicle with front and rear parking sensors which help me with the parking..

My son has monocular vision and he rides a scooter OK.

Partially sighted doesn’t mean having monocular vision, although technically it could be construed that way. After all we are born with two eyes and with only one working that does make a person partially sighted.

Partially sighted pertains to the quality of whatever vision a person has in the eyes that s/he has.
