Abstract
A prosthesis for an eye of a wearer formed from a thin film sheet sufficient to cover a portion of the sclera of the eye. The sheet has a number of sections which create the impression that the eye is generally centered within the eye socket. Various embodiments include a section for permanent affixation to the exterior of the eye, a lens section to enhance vision, protection from ultra violet exposure, and a simple masking embodiment which allows the wearer to see through the film with the outer surface of the film having indicia of sclera, iris, and pupil all properly centered.
