One eyed is not considered disabled as it counts 30% disability as per standard so far. you can dig out UN Standard for visual disability if they too consider one eyed as 30% or more.

Section 9 (8) (b) of Motor Vehicles Act specifies that the applicant who is desirous of obtaining driving license has to produce a medical certificate in the form and in the manner referred to in Sub - Section (3) of Section 8.

So, it follows that even a one-eyed person , can be issued with a driving license if he/she is medically certified that the disability that he/she are suffering from will not be a source of danger to the public.

One eyed person can apply for grant of driving license as per Section 9 of Motor Vehicles Act 1988.
