prosthetic eye
Artificial orbital implant
A prosthetic eye is an artificial eye that replaces a natural eye lost to injury, disease, or congenital absence.
Most prosthetic eyes are not full spheres but shell-shaped pieces that fit over an orbital implant, painted to match the remaining eye.
Unlike glass eyes of earlier eras, modern prosthetics are typically made of acrylic: She removes her prosthetic eye nightly for cleaning.
