artificial eye

Ocular prosthesis replacement

An artificial eye is a prosthetic device that replaces a missing or damaged eye, typically made of glass or acrylic and painted to match the remaining eye.

It fits over an implant or into the eye socket and restores appearance but not vision: She's worn an artificial eye since the accident.

Also called a glass eye or ocular prosthesis.
