Best Answer

Post injured his left eye in an oil field accident, and when it seemed that an infection might spread to both eyes and deprive him of vision entirely, he had a surgeon remove his left eye. The gamble worked and he recovered normal sight in his right eye, but wore a patch over his false eye.
