Obvious bad deal aside, I think that losing an eye would grant one some interesting opportunities. The one that came to mind just now was the ability to have a glass eye (would it be glass?) that had LEDs inside.

I know that you’ve seen those little magnetic pins that flash stroboscopicly in a seizure inducing manner. (We got a few at a wedding reception a while ago, little heart shaped do-dads that people attached to weird places. [think magnets] it made the dance floor look like a geriatric rave doing the hokey pokey) So, I’m thinking, wouldn’t it be great to have one of those in your glass eye!

“Look me in the eye when your talkin’ to me, son”

Yeah, you’d have to change the battery every once in a while. But I assume that you have to take them out for a good cleaning anyway. Your nose would act a nice screen so it wouldn’t bother you in your normal day to day. (well, the rear view mirror could be a bitch. Always seeing red an blue lights flashing out of the corner of your eye could cause some problems) And it might help you see in the dark!

Oh, great! The Flashlight Eye™! A nice high powered LED eyeball insert! You can always see where you’re going. With an easy to use push-button toggle on the cornea. Just make sure you press the right (correct) eye, because you only need one! Just remember, I thought of it first!

Wow, what things you can come up with when you’re bored, pressing on the side of your eyeball to see the pretty colors and your fiance is complaining about automatic thoughts and trips to the emergency room.
