I have been having my prosthetic eye for 5 out of my 14 years and until i reached middle school, had been having problems with kids calling my "crosseyed, lazy eye, etc" and is very frustrating because i can't tell them i have a fake eye as my excuse so i just ignore them, but inside i have the guilt of them asking me that and not answering them. I was wondering how much it will cost for getting a prosthetic eye that moves like a normal eye. Also, anyone elese that has to deal with similar situations? Thanks.

The cost of my prosthetic was $3000 dollars (it moves pretty much like a regular eye) but why can't you tell them you have a "fake eye" have you told your friends? I told mine and they were pretty accepting ( i'm in high so i know what your feeling) my friends had al ot of questions and were kind of freaked out at first really it's nothing to be embarrassed about you know? because some people think it's cool and for those that don't they don't matter it's mainly about how you feel in it. You could try things like Wearing tinted glasses or hats
i really hope this helps

It is not always possible to get a prosthetic eye that moves. It depends on what kind of surgery was done originally to remove the eye. Even the ones that move may not look totally natural.
You will need to consult a surgeon to discuss your options.
