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. 
id leave it a gaping hole and everyday id put something different in it
one day a pickle
one day a hard boiled egg
etc..
etc..
  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.
I lost my left eye in 1993.   I use a prosthetic.  Also, it's made of plastic, not glass.  
Would you like to share more information please?
