glass eye
Fake seeing orb
A glass eye is an artificial eye made of glass or plastic, worn to replace one that has been lost or damaged.
It fits over the remaining eye structure or into the socket, matching the appearance of the natural eye.
Someone with a glass eye may be said to have one: He's had a glass eye since the accident.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for an unblinking or lifeless stare.
