One eyed horse - ok for dressage competition?

I’m considering a young horse that had to have an eye removed due to a detached retina. I know a blind in one eye can compete in dressage… what if there’s no eye at all in the socket? I didn’t see anything in the rule book that says no…

Thanks!

I know of a horse that had had both eyes removed and competed at USEF/USDF shows.

My friend had horse with one eye. She had a special eye patch with Swarovski crystals made for competition. They showed 4th level.
