Coordination issues during instrument play anybody?

Im 33 years old and only 1 eye with 20/20 vision since birth (due to a one sided cataract).
I’m currently learning to play cello, when I was a child I tried to learn the piano. I’ve always been struggling with letting my hands do 2 separate things in different rhythms. Like playing piano with both hands or playing legato / portato on the cello. I can feel my brain starting to fume and I wonder whether it has anything to do with only having full vision in one eye.
Does anybody else experience something similar?

parents of kids who have to wear an eye patch: how do you get them to keep it on?

i had a lazy eye as a kid and had to wear a patch, and i hated it. i fought my parents on it constantly and i'm only now realizing how hard that must have been for them.

for parents going through it now: how do you get your kid to wear it? do you know how long they actually wore it each day? what tricks have worked, and what made it worse? did your doctor mention options besides patching?
