One-eyed cubing

Friends, could I ask a quick favor of you, purely out of curiosity?

Would you try doing a few solves with one eye closed, and let me know how much difference it made, particularly in timing?

I ask because I don't have much vision in my right eye and, as I was sitting here timing random scrambles, it got me wondering how much of a disadvantage I'm having with a smaller field of view, and having to turn the cube slightly more to get a peek at the right side of it.

I'm never going to be a crazy-fast cuber (my PR is 57.55) but I'm just genuinely curious how much of a difference it makes.

Thanks - I appreciate your consideration and help.
