If going outside and looking up is one of my favorite things, I'll wear the patch. Also, she couldn't focus with that eye anyway (no lens, no iris), so no depth perception anyway.

Or remove the eye and go glass. Even a contact lens could be used to limit the light intake. I'm calling bullshit. Insurance companies suck, but there's more to this story than just that.
