Depends. If you want to wear an eye patch exclusively you should get your eye sewn shut so dirt and whatnot stays out of your socket and you don't get an infection. Fake eyes also don't look as off as people think. In pictures it is painfully obvious but in real life most people don't notice. I've had doctors give me an eye exam and not notice the right one was fake.

In terms of getting a fake eye they are quite expensive. A new one will run you $1500. The price drops depending on if you get another one while they still have the "clay" model of your socket or if you give them an idea so original they have to make it. I told the guy I wanted one that glowed in the dark so he gave me 50% off.

Your best bet is get a fake eye and just leave it in with an eye patch over it. That way it keeps your options open and if people give you poo poo when you take off the eye patch thinking you don't need it just pop out the fake eye and scare the poo poo out of them. Some people just can't handle looking at an empty socket.

A fake eye is a better option if you wear glasses.

its hard to get an eye patch that fits comfortably and doesn't give people the impression you're some kind of unstoppable badass.

Fake eyes are not made out of glass you dumbasses. That poo poo is too heavy and would make your socket start drooping and looking weird. Most are made out of silicone and are quite light.

It's not quite that easy, but you could always try to prove me wrong. Have someone shoot you in the head. If you survive the initial injury and all the surgeries afterwards try it and let me know how it goes.

oh dont you worry someone is prtty much guaranteed to shoot me in the head one day (me)

So you do the fake eye/patch combo yourself? I've known a couple of fake eye guys and was always double guessing who they were talking to. But I assumed they were stuck on that option because of he patch makes ppl think you're fake badassing it, hence my question,

Isn't this the war reporter who lost her eye when she was doing a piece on separatists in Russia and the vehicle she was in got hit with an RPG. Or was that just a fever dream.
