It looks great!!! Congrats on getting step one done!!!

I have what could be an ignorant question, so please forgive me. Since it's a prosthetic eye, will it move in unison with your other eye? I know that some people have a (glass?) eye that is stationery, but since you said yours is prosthetic I just wonder if it will be stationery or will move. Like I said, sorry for the question but I really have no idea. Thanks and congrats again!!!

Not a stupid one at all. I have learned over the last two years that you would be amazed at how much work and how much amazement goes into the human eye and face.
Mine will not move much and if it does, it could take a long time to even move a small amount. There are some that move in unison with your other eye and move more and pretty smoothly. Those that move are done with magnets though and because I have to go for MRI's I can't have the magnets in my head (I don't know if you ever had a MRI but if not it's one of those tests that they ask you if you have any metal on, if they do they ask you to take it off. Like no jewlery and no underwire bra's and such).
When I had my enucleation (the medical word for eye removal surgery) a stint was put in and all of the eye muscles that remained working were attached to the stint. We are hoping the final prosthetic will put a little pressure on the stint and muscles so you may see some movement.
Most people who have glass eyes from surgery had a surgery called an exoneration (not spelled exactly right) and that is where the eye and the muscles and everything are removed. There was a period of time when the medical team believed that is what I was going to need but about a week before surgery the team met up and said I didn't need to go to that extreme (Thank goodness for the testing Dr's do right before surgery).

Hope that answers your question (and sorry if I went to deep on it). If it doesn't, feel free to FM me and ask more.
