I have an idea I wanted to bounce off you guys to see what you think:
As you may or may not know, Ihave an artifical eye (due to cancer as an infant.) I was thinking last night that maybe I could take one of my old prostehtics and paint it differently, maybe to look more mechanical or something, since my character also lost her eye during a lightsaber training incident. Of course this would be used only for costuming purposes, not for everyday use (or would it... hmmm...) What do you guys think, and do you have any ideas as to what it should/might look like? Or would it be too freaky?

Cool. GO for it.:-) A robotic eye isn't unlike Star wars or even Star trek So what if it's freaky, it people's jaws drop to their kneees, it's a good thing. :-D

Try checking some of the contact web sites, and see some of the really strange things they do.

Sounds great. I would only add...is if you mean to actually WEAR the thing..then be very careful of what paints and sealants you use on it. You dont want to get any adverse reactions.
Good luck!

Yes I plan on talking with my ocularist (i.e. guy who makes my eyes) to see what types of sealants he uses.

You could be a Borg Jedi. lol! Seriously, it's a cool idea. Jedi have fake arms and hands, so why not eyes? Although I don't have any idea on what it could look like. I'll think about it. How about a cool thing like Geordie has on Star Trek, only on one eye?

Stilll working on this idea although I got bawled out by some jerk ocularist in Florida. My own guy says it can be done as long as I wear it for short periods of time. And since I would only wear it probably 2 maybe 3 times a year, he doesn't see anything too harmful about it. Am in contact with a couple of people who expressed interest in helping me out. So I'll let you all know how it goes
