This is just a set of picture from the last time WifeGeeding had a new ocular prosthetic made back in October 2012. I never used the picture gallery option of this website before, so I thought I’d give it a crack.

Here’s the video of when she revealed her prosthetic eye to DaughterGeeding. She recently took it out for BoyGeeding, and the moment is recorded, but he really wasn’t impressed.
Is that Randy Trawnik?
The great Randy Trawnik, yes.
I know that you probably have explained this before; but did she lose her eye? Pardon the question if you deem it too personal to respond.
Not too personal at all. That's one thing I really admire about her, she's open about, and I think it's courageous, and she's shared her story with other parents who have children that have been through what she's been through. I'm going to get the details from her tonight, but basically she was born with two eyes, but she could never see through one of them. It got worst, glaucoma I believe, and then the retina detached, and then had the eye removed as a kindergartner. She's often said if she had the opportunity to get another eye or go through life with two eyes she wouldn't do it reasoning she it would be too difficult to use two at the same time.
