I am blind in my left eye with light perception and have no visual field in my right eye.
I know I cannot take on any combat-ralated role in the Army, but what other jobs would I be able to take on?
I figured something to do with computer machanics, considering I have the software and the skills needed, but is that allowed?
Are there any other jobs besides computer techs?
 
Sorry. You're disqualified for the military. However you may be able to get a civilian job with the DOD. Check USAJOBS.gov
 
The key is whether or not your vision is "correctable." As long as you can wear glasses that allow you to perform, you may be able to join.
My father was in the Army prior to the Korean War, and lost one of his eyes when he was 9 years old. Of course, back then, the draft was in effect. He was a tanker.
