Close one eye for 30 seconds and imagine having your vision altered like that for the rest of your life in an instant.


You have to relearn everything .

Depth perception? Becomes a guessing game.
Blind spots? Quadrupled.

Your brain, because it works on a binary system, will create weird effects (I call them ghosts) because it's trying to create an image using only half the input.

You bump into things, turn in to people, and let me tell you, a dead eye lolling around in your head is great for symmetry.

We take our vision for granted until it goes POP!

Then it's lights out, forever.

Poetry that doesn't rhyme?

Uncle had one. Lost it as a kid to an arrow they had shot straight up. He was a babe magnet and I always thought overcompensating made him strive harder to be liked. Everybody liked him.

Would joke about playing marbles and roll it across the table when we were kids. Until we got use to it.

Does the eye stay in overnight or can it be kept in for prolonged periods? Is there relief when its taken out or does it feel better in? When its out, do you have to be careful of stuff getting inside the socket and causing irritation when the glass is put back in?


Best prank my buddy ever did was taking a marble in a truck stop bathroom stall and dropping it, and let it roll under stalls.

“Oh shite ! Okay man my glass eye just fell out.”

I’m you’re guy.

My dad’s 5th or 6th wife had prosthetic eyes. For s&g’s she was 43 years his Junior. Any who, I was living in Lakeview and they were living in Lafayette. He calls me one day and tells me they are in town and asked if my wife and son would like to have dinner. My, now ex, wife declines(she wasn’t a big fan of him) but I accept. While at dinner,I ask why were they in town and he tells me they had to get his wife fitted for a new eye. Well, of course I’m intrigued,so I ask if this was like shoes in that you have to get new ones every so often. She is also deaf and mute. He says “no, one of her eyes broke”. So of course I ask how does one break an eye…..

He tells me, and I kind of wish he hadn’t, the story. They were getting it on and one of her eyes popped out, rolled off the bed, landed on the floor and cracked. In his words, “I literally fricked her eye out”.

That's an awesome story.

You can definitely flip a handicap from a weakness to a strength, with some levity and wit.

Oh I meant to say "poem". peom was a mispelling of poem. Or rather a typo because I didn't necessarly spell it wrong I just mixed up the O and the E. I don't think peom is even a word. I guess it could be a word if it was used enough and the dictionary people decided to make it an official word. I have no idea what it would be used for though.

Did you just ask if we’ve fricked a guy with a glass eye?

thats a good story they don't make men like that anymore but you didnt answer a single one of my questions.

Though I guess maybe you did with the "intimant knowledge" and fricking her eye eye out. so that does count

SIL has them,she’s blind with a Seeing Eye dog .Takes them out at night and cleans them with saline solution.

She lived in Dallas a good many years.She told me a story about a group of blind guys she knew.They got together one night and all got drunk.They decided to try each others eyes.Next morning they all had the wrong eyes in.
They had to get a taxi and go see the glass eye guy in Dallas to get reunited with their right eyes.

My baw...

I was messing,

And now you're out here stressing.

The one-eyed life's a lark,
I look on the bright side,
'Cause the other way's dark.
