...what would you do about it; wear a false one, an eyepatch, dark glasses, never go out again, leave it and have people accept your appearance, or something else?
And how do you think it would affect your life in particular?

Yeah, odd question I guess, just came to mind when I was thinking of how Big Boss looks... I thought it'd be interesting to ask since eyes are important; like if you lose a finger, not many people will notice or care much and it's only going to have a negligible affect on how good you are at anything; but an eye, people are gonna notice almost every time they look at you, it'll be harder to play ball games and drive and so on since your distance judgement would be relatively ineffectual. Maybe that dream sports career of yours will go down the drain, I dunno, tell me.

Either an eyepatch or just do nothing about it. I always thought false eyes looked ridiculous so I wouldn't consider one of those. I wouldn't want to wear dark glasses because it would affect my other eye. Besides, if I have a valid reason to wear an eyepatch, then I'm going to take it. Not a black eyepatch that makes me look a pirate though, I'd probably get something a bit more unique.
I don't think it would affect my life too much, I don't intend on doing anything that would certainly require both eyes anyway. I believe that it is legal to drive with just one eye. I don't think the loss of an eye will stop me from doing anything that I want to do.

I once got hit in the eye with a tree branch and ended up with a patch for a week. I hated it, I had a hard time focusing on things and it made me very snappy towards people.

But I guess if I had to spend the rest of my life that way, I'd get one of those novelty patches with a happy face on it.

That would be horrible since both of your eyes see differently. Well anyway, I'm not sure what I'd do about. I'd probably wear an eye patch or do nothing to cover it up since those options would do nothing to the eye I would have left, like everything would be even harder to see if I used dark glasses.

Eyepatch. :D preferably a red one. It just seems easier than having to wear very dark eye glasses and everything, and I don't really like the idea of a fake eye.

As awesome as an eyepatch sounds, I think I'd rather have a fake eye. That way there's not something over my face all the time. I wonder if an eyepatch would try to slip off all the time? Wouldn't it get annoying? *shrugs*

Since I'd get weird stares regardless, I'd rather go for something that kind of just stays there and won't fall out (nearly?) as much.

I'd wear a false eye. I've experienced this with someone firsthand. Having a false eye definitely makes it much less noticeable.

How it would affect my life? I can expect some shenanigans when someone gets/puts something in front of the eye I can't see through. Not really sure how else it would affect my life other than an interesting story to tell kids that poking an eye out CAN ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

I'd wear an eye patch.

A black one.

And it would be awesome.

Or get a fake eye, with an off-colored iris, which was different than my usual brown eyes.
