[Elder Scrolls] If you read an Elder Scroll while wearing an eyepatch, would you only go blind in one eye?

?

No. You don't go blind because the scrolls damage your eyes. You go blind because you are "trading" your sight for the sight of the scrolls.

And it's a lot more complicated than just "read them and go blind". For the great majority of people, reading the scrolls will do nothing. No blindness, no insight, just looking at piece of paper with a lot of nonsense on it. 

It's when you know enough to start to understand the scrolls then things start to happen. Most likely you'll just go mad (but keep your eyesight), but if you've got the knowledge *and* the mental fortitude to comprehend what you're reading, that's when the blindness happens. And if you've got an exceptional amount of knowledge and mental fortitude, then it's possible to read them several times before you go fully blind.
