If you lose an eye
 

Just out of curiousity, what alternatives do you have today if you ever should lose one of your eyes?
There's the traditional black patch aka pirate eyewear with a rubber band attached to it. Then we have the synthetic eyeball that gets placed into your eye.

Possible to make that eyeball glow in the dark or have some kind of electronical devices in it? It would be like cyberhuman...


I forgot to place the poll. Can some mod please make a poll please? I just want to see how many would go for the traditional vs future gadget.

I'd get a gun installed in my eye socket, and then wear an eyepatch over it. So then when I gave people "the eye", it would mean I shot them to death.

Make sure to put that on the poll.

I'd put a patch over it, and keep the socket open and sanitary so I could use it to smuggle coke.

I'd put a bunch of Pog in there. Maybe they would be (exciting) themed Pog!! Of course I'd also include a Pog slammer so everyone can enjoy a fun and exciting game of Pog when boredom arrives via the 4:25.

If that is added, then my idea of a laser shooting eye should also be added.

I'd put bright red LED lights in it, and then when someone pisses me off, I'll pull up my eyepatch and GLARRREEEE

I would wear an eye patch and run around yelling "I AM XIAOHOU DUN!"

I'd definitely get a pencil sharpener looking like a real eye. Then I'd press a pencil into my eye and run around screaming. Man, that'd be fun.

I've always like the idea of carrying change in my eye socket. This way I don't have to carry a coin purse and look like some sort of freak of nature or something.

I'd use it for magic tricks. Nobody's ever seen a man pull 100 ft. of multi-colored silk rope from an eye before.

That, or I'd use it to scare small children.

I'd have a normal prosthetic eyeball, but hiding behind it would be some kind of funky-looking figurine of a guy hiding in my eye socket like a Cookoo bird in those Cookoo clocks. Then if I activate it by hitting a hidden button behind my ear, the figurine would spring out, poking his head out of my eye socket with an insane looking smile on his face with a voice chip that activates that says "Surprise!".

Seriously though, I'd want a bionic eye that can instantaneously have a zoom-in feature, night-vision, infrared, or x-ray vision.

You're gonna love the short film I wrote that's being made right now :D

I've always wanted a camera for an eye. Those moments where you see something really fucking cool, but don't have a camera? Solved. Add a zoom feature, and you have a superior eyeball in every way.

that's what the film is essentially about

I'd go with a monitor implant, a monitor that I would be able to control with my mind so I can browse the net and play games at any given time. My brain would be the hard drive of course.

Take that iPod touch.

I'd probably put my cell/mobile phone in there. The look on surrounding people's faces when it rings/vibrates would be fucking priceless.

Either that or I'd continuously play "I see with my little eye..."; that would be lulz.

I'd probably use one of those eye-designed gumballs. It's cheap. It's easy to replace. Since it's really smooth, it's probably pretty easy to clean if needed. One might say it's eyedeal.

Synthetic eyeball of course. As cool as an eyepatch would be, I'd rather not some random American citizen judge me by my appearance! Looks are quite important, especially in the business world. Though it is not my intention to go into business, I may have to if I find myself in a dire situation! Whatever it takes to make a living.

An eyepatch. A plain old black eyepatch. It's a classic that can't be beat.

An eye patch with a laser eye under it. Once that laser shines on people, I start doing the robot and make myself as robotic as possible.

I'd have a magnetron installed so I can indiscriminately microwave everyone I look at.

I'd have a glass eye that I would scratch with a fork at restaurants.

I dunno man, you'd probably also have to put some guards in your eye socket for him to play with. Otherwise he's just gonna be tapping away all day out of boredom.

I'd go with a plain old glass eye. One, glass eyes are interchangeable so you could put all sorts of weird looking irises in there. Two, there is no end to the amount of fun you can have by popping your eye out at the right moments. A guy I went to high school with completely freaked out a substitute teacher by taking it out and asking to go to the nurse's office.
