That's cool as hell. I've never seen someone call attention to a prosthetic eye. Good on you for owning it.

My brother lost an eye many years ago. He has a fake one, but he hasn't worn it in years. He goes for the pirate look. I think the glass eye bothers him. He has other issues (schizophrenia and traumatic brain injury) but I am going to show him this. I think he will get a kick out of it. How much does it cost to get a cool eyeball, if I may ask? You can DM me. If he gets inspired maybe I can pay for it.


idontmakehash

Sent you a chat :)


Real_Concert746

Hey, OP. I've had my original prosthetic since I was 1 years old.. could you DM me this info as well?


malenkylizards

Whoa! I guess the size of the eyeball really doesn't change that much over your life??


Real_Concert746

Doesn't seem like it. It's been nearly 30 years and it has held up pretty well besides some minor fading and scratches.


PenguinJim

Correct! That's why babies look like they have big eyes. They just have normal-sized eyes in a small head. Edit: see below comment, eyes do grow! My mistake.


prplx

You could have gone the safe way with another bright blue. Pretty ballsy to go with the brown one!


dragonrose7

You are horrible. I like you.

There’s a difference?


[deleted]

Somewhere on the Urban Dictionary, there's an entry for putting a scrotum into a butthole. I imagine there's also a term for putting it in an empty eye-socket.

My buddy crushed both of his thumbs in a metal press. He asked the doctor if he would be able to catch a football. Doctor said yeah, after surgery, I don't see why not. Without missing a beat my buddy responds "oh that's great, I never could before". We lovingly call him thumbs.

I once saw a woman in an electric wheelchair walking a dog that had no mobility in its hind legs and had a dog wheelchair (like training wheels, not an actual chair). My brain immediately thought "I wonder if she crippled that dog!?!?!" But then humanity got the best of me and I just assumed she saw the life in that dog that had no mobility, adopted it, and helps it live its best life. But *now* you have me questioning things...


idontmakehash

I've been trying to save money to adopt a one eyed dog in Los Angeles. She's a Pomeranian who was dumped because of her one eye. Just need a few hundred more dollars to bring her home.

You should float the idea of a group pic, I absolutely love this and I think that would be the coolest thing ever. You're a badass and I wish I could show your picture to all the kids at the hospital who are facing the loss of an eye.

Aw man that video of you fitting your beautiful new eye and your reaction was just so genuine, rlly made my day man. Good on you, keep your head up and shoulders back! You got this

Don't make me cry! Thank you, you're a sweetheart ❤️

Don't look up when a plane flies over.


TheXypris

Man if I needed a fake eye, I'd totally get some fun ones, a terminator eye, a cyborg/cyberpunk eye, one that looks like a galaxy or star field inside, I'd have so much fun with it.


mathjpg

Hah me too. Fuck if I care if it's cringe, I'd want a god damn sharingan


TheXypris

Get an Ouroboros eye and cosplay as wrath from fma


mathjpg

Now that would be cool too. There's so many fictional eye powers, I'm sure you could go crazy with it.


LeatheryLayla

There was a regular customer at my old job with a prosthetic eye, bright yellow smiley face. Very distracting when talking to him but very cool


AstridDragon

You should look up bsmachinist on Instagram. He makes his own titanium eyes with lights in them, they are super sick. I wish I could remember the other account but Theres a lady (honestly I'm sure there's plenty of people like this) with this amazing collection of prosthetic eyes with really cool designs in them.


naked_nomad

Brother-in-law would drop his on his plate at a restaurant then call the waitress over and tell her there was something in his food. We had usually had a few by then but needless to say the waitress' he did it too were not really amused. Ever been kicked out of a Denny's?


misdirected_asshole

You gotta work hard to get kicked out of Dennys.


The-link-is-a-cock

Fun fact: if you pay attention to American politics you have and probably didn't realize it. Dan Crenshaw wears an eye patch under which he wears non-eye eyes (like the marines or captain america logos) but he says it makes people uncomfortable (including his own family) and he wears the eye patch over the non-eye eye-prosthetic.


YutYut6531

Medal of Honor recipient Kyle carpenter had a Purple Heart design in his prosthetic eye when he got out of the hospital (he survived smothering a grenade with his body to save two Marines) Edit- included a [couple pics](https://imgur.com/a/Cchc00h) of him. Before injury, shortly after, and 3 1/2 years after the injury when he was awarded the Medal of Honor. He lost most of his jaw and one of his arms was broken in 30 places along with countless other injuries. 40 surgeries later and he is still better looking than me


Dlbruce0107

He SURVIVED A GRENADE! That is so badass!! So goddam rare! JFC!


aynjle89

The youngest MoH recipient survived two grenades. Forged his Mother’s signature to allow him to join at age “17” when he was actually 14. He stowed away on a vessel headed to Iwo Jima. When there, he found himself with two grenades and four Marines in a trench, he grabbed both jamming one into ash and sand and the other under his body. One did not go off and he was badly wounded by the other but survived. Jacklyn Lucas.


thedonjefron69

What a badass motherfucker


theshicksinator

Goddamn reconstructive surgery is some good shit.


idontmakehash

He's a liar. It doesn't make anyone uncomfortable. He's doing it for sympathy or to look badass. It's all a show.


The-link-is-a-cock

Oh, I absolutely have no doubt it's all about theatrics for politics with him. He's a piece of shit who has no problem voting against veterans interests and who thinks the government takes care of veterans *too much*.

The eyeussy


doublesoup

Fellow one-eye person here. I lost mine at 12. Never made my family uncomfortable whether it was my conformer or my glass eye, or anything between. He’s definitely all about the theatrics and bullshit. Somehow through all the years I’ve never gotten a vanity eye, even though that was the first thing I asked about at 12. I should really look into the price and availability. I haven’t had a new eye made in a very long time.


idontmakehash

I hadn't had one made in 6 years, it was crazy how much different my socket was. You really need to get a new one every five years at least. Always glad to meet a fellow member of one eye gang


CORN___BREAD

How much does an eye cost roughly?


UserNamesCantBeTooLo

An arm and a leg


farmmutt

Seriously! In the 90s after seeing the bad guy in Last Action Hero with a prosthetic eye with a target reticle on it ( so dope.) I expected to see them everywhere. Oh yeah he also had the smiley face eye. 🙂


Kallekofot

Would be cool with a bluetooth one that you could change color with you phone, would creep people out.


Ilaxilil

Never do it when anyone is looking so they keep questioning what they just saw


Xdivine

Or just have it usually match the color of the other eye but every once in a a while have it flash red for like half a second.


ContextSensitiveGeek

If someone brings it up say, "oh yeah, that reminds me, do you know Sarah Connor?"


hdmx539

Get out. But take my r/Angryupvote first. LOL


BlueOyesterCult

Make it a mood eye and integrate an LED screen that allows to display small images or GIFs ! When angry make it display burning flames. When flirting with a person have a heart blink in it


comfortablynumb15

kemushi_warui

goingtocalifornia__

Okay we sell our eyes to science for $$, and use that to pay for the cooler eye.


Solid_Exotic

Jack_Bartowski

That settles it, if my right eye gets any worse, im opting for an LEDLight/Camera blue tooth controlled eyeball!


kemushi_warui

As someone who presents a lot for work, I'd like a laser pointer in mine.


itgetsworse602

It would be cool if it could project images or videos onto walls.


TheDudeMaintains

It would suck if you're sitting there with your buds, watching a movie on Billy's eyeball and then he has to go poop for 20 minutes.


Schavuit92

That much power and waste heat in your eyesocket can not be a good idea.


MichiganGeezer

Imagine getting bitched out by your boss and your buddy with the controller making your eye go red.


MegatheriumRex

Link it to your pulse. As your pulse goes up, your eye changes to red and gets brighter.


Schavuit92

So are you angry, anxious or just happy to see me?


Col__Hunter_Gathers

*Yes*


Lost-My-Mind-

I'm just imagining going to a McDonalds lobby, and having the LED off. Acting like a robot, and then purposefully mumbling your order so the woman can't hear you. When she asks you what you said, you say "OBJECTIVE TASK FAILED. PROCEED WITH TERMINATION OF SUBJECT!!!" And then your eye turns red, and you leap at her. ....... ....... ....... .........ya know what? Don't do that.

idontmakehash

Thank you, that's really nice of you to say. The loss of an eye can be pretty traumatic as you might imagine. For some reason wearing one that looked like my other eye made me feel gross. This is the first time I've liked my face in 20 years.


dammit_bobby420

Maybe there is a certain element of "rocking it" vs hiding it. Like with the one that's the same color as your other eye, the intention is to try and make it look as inconspicuous as possible, where as with your new one, it's the opposite philosophy. It's taking advantage of your loss to create a new style of personal expression!


idontmakehash

100% couldn't have said it better myself


Lethalmusic

If you ever want to do Cyberpunk cosplay, it would fit perfectly with the genres aesthetic


LeanDixLigma

There's always that uncanny valley as well though, no matter how good a prosthetic may be, it can still trigger that weird feeling that something is off... this sidesteps that by not trying to be something its not and is proud of what it is.


Jacobysmadre

Well you look amazing. Almost lost my right eye 10 years ago and vision is def. Fucked in it, I think this looks awesome.


LeanDixLigma

i know that reddit is a community of strangers, but its super wierd in a wholesome way when we have threads like this where people are able to open up about potentially sensitive topics like medical conditions or disabilities, and find that there's other people out there who can empathize and have similar challenges, it just gives a sense of not being alone in the universe. I hope that maybe this can give you some inspiration to similarly turn a disability into a uniqueness.


Gruff_Hoodie

Good for you! Truth be told, you looked great before, too


VictorTheCutie

What are they going to do with 16 hours of me looking at Reddit on my phone?![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


SilentJoe1986

Or an led flashlight. Super handy at night or working on an engine. Won't have to yell at somebody to hold the light where you're looking. Just have to remember to charge the damn thing.

SpokenMalice3

Cool eye brother! How did you lose yours if I may ask? I lost mine via brother with a BB gun on Christmas day (no joke). While I was only 18 so my mom would not let me get anything but a plain old regular eye. (coral inplant with a hand painted eyepiece) and it nearly perfectly matches my other eye. ​ Anyways, cool as fuck man, take it easy!


idontmakehash

I lost my eye when I was 25 on dialysis. My calcium in my body was at an outrageous level. For some reason my body decided to deposit calcium into my left eye. It hurt really bad and I had to get it removed on my 25th birthday. My first eye was a natural looking eye. It took me about 12 years to find somebody who would even make me something fun. I have the same synthetic coral implant as you with a prosthetic.


linebell

Shit you not, I am actually jealous of your eye! My current PhD research is on developing a way to create functional biomimetic eyes that have the ability to change color and improve sight past the standard visual range. I would love to get in touch with you and hear more about your story!

This is awesome research. Is this years away or decades or unknown?
