As a man who lost an eye, I'm sometimes accused of calling attention to myself by choosing an eye-patch over a glass eye. I do possess both, a somewhat outdated glass eye and my more commonly used eye-patch. Wearing my eye always feels like...lying. A falsehood. A deception. My eye-patch is open and clear to all who see it, and know what I am.
And if I can admit to a small sin, I'm a little proud of my injury. It was the result of an action I took, an action that saved the life of a wonderful person and marked a crucial turning point in my life. So people can stare and pretend not to stare all they want.
