If people were born with one eye in the center instead of 2 eyes (left/right). What would our lives be like?

Question

If we were born as cyclops. What would our lives be? I'm assuming vision would be similar somewhat, right? We'd have to be more careful. I wander if eye protection for constructional/science/landscape/electrical work be a law if we were made that way. What's your opinion on this?

Update:

I don't know why the word "electrical" was cutoff like that in the description.

Update 2:

I don't this is not categorized as "optical" related things.
