Would you opt for an eye patch or a glass eye?
Eye patch.
-
Terminator-type artificial eye. hopefully, they figure out the optic nerve before I lose my eye.
-
I'd go for the fake eye. Then, when Halloween comes, I'd do like a kid in my high school did- he'd insert a smiley face for his fake eye and walk around like that. Everyone freaked out at that when they first saw it. I did a double take, but didn't realize what he'd done till the next year when he told me.
I'd probably get a whole bunch of different glass eyes. Maybe a Santa one for Christmas, a Leprechan for St. Patty's day, etc..... :P
-
I wore an eye patch for 6 months. No way would I choose to wear one all the time.
-
i'd go to pakistan..and find me a replacement eye..
plenty of homeless that'd sell ya an eye at dirt cheap prices.. ;)
maybe i'd go to north paki and find me a green eye..one black and one green eye would be teh awesome!
-
eye patch!
Arrrrrr matey! ;D
-
fake eye
don't want to spoil my good looks
LOL

My uncle has a fake eye, usually wears that but supposedly you cannot wear it all the time as it starts to rub. On hot or dusty days its also a no-no as it gets uncomfortable.
-
patch man..
fucking patch...
Ot maybe a fake eye if I had a whole collection of them, like that guy from Arnold's shitty ass movie, "The Last Action Hero".

I almost lost an eye on 1995 when I was 20 years old. I had a piece of tool steel chip off a die at work and go straight through my pupil.It was almost painless....sorta felt like getting poked in the eye.All this fluid poored down my cheek and it went instantly white.Everyone thinks you would see black..but it was white.I looked in the mirror and my pupil was torn.It looked like a drip of black paint running from the bottom,if that makes sense.It went through the cornea and through the lense and was at the very back of the eye.They had to do a cat scan to find out if it was in the eye or if it had went through it.It destroyed the lense and it had to be removed completely.They replaced it with an artifitial lense about 6 months later.I had to wear a black patch over it during that time because it was very sensitive to light,because the pupil was very large due to the tear created.They closed that up later,but because of that it will not dilate completely..at night it is much smaller than the other one,making it a little hard to see in the dark. I didn't lose it,but 4 surgeries later my vision is 20/80..mostly due to scar tissue on the cornea.I laugh at how many people in my line of work take chances with their eyes...you don't realize how much of a blessing they are until something bad happens. I won't even work in the garage at home without safety glasses..and I sure won't ever take them off at work again.

Thats a fucked up story man...i'm sorry..i bet you are glad that you could keep the eye even if your sight is 20/80..!

Yeah...the scar tissue is the biggest thing obstructing my sight.That along with the artificial lens because it can not change shape to focus the way the natural one would.They have to set it up for either close up or far away. They set it to see a bit far away as that is the most usefull in everyday life.(this is the same thing they do for older people with cataracts)They told me a few years ago that in the very near future they could probably reshape the cornea to improve it quite a bit,but at that time the technology wasn't quite there...but yeah blurry is much better than blind. :) I was lucky.

I hope they fix it for you in the future bro!!!

glass eye

If I lost an eye Stella, You would still have a big blury mark where your face should be :P

If I lost an eye I'd just walk around with the hole on display 24/7. It would make you look hard.
Scare the shit out people. No-one would fucking mess with me.

I was born with a congenital cataract, so have always been blind in one eye.
No problem I see fine.
xL
sideways
etc.
-
apparantly it's far worse if you lose an eye.
I'm fine, I've been one-eyed since birth.
xL
(do you wanna hear the story about how I nearly lost a leg?) ...only kidding, I'm sure you haven't the time...

I always thought that, but they can't.
Your eyes learn in your first 5 years of life, after that, no go. (It's to do with the brain).
xL
So unless they give me a new head, which I don't want, I'm fine, I've only ever had one eye and it's fabulous. I couldn't learn to see 3D. (which is, in case you didn't know, the reason you lot have two eyes) I doubt I'm missing much. I see technicolours and I see near and far.

Eye patch.
Luckily, although I'm blind in one eye, noone can tell unless I tell them.
So I don't need to choose between your eye patch or glass eye.
shambolic eyeist derogatory thread

As long as you all see well enough to post... that's all that matters.

I lost my left eye in 1993. I use a prosthetic. Also, it's made of plastic, not glass.
How did it happen?
-
i have a buddy that this actually happened to. it was a job related accident.( i think). he has a glass eye now. you can't even tell the difference. (it looks so real). i don't know what i'd do. i value my eyesight too much. (i think i'd opt for a glass eye as well.) then u can take it out, sish it around in your mouth, and put it back in! COOL! ;D

I'd put an apple in there ;)
Oh man. No disrespect to anyone that has lost an eye but LOL @ the above posts.
gtbro1, thank you for sharing your story. Why was wearing a patch bad? Was it the eye injury itself or was the patch uncomfortable? Sorry you went through all that.
