he really turned his weakness to his greatest strength. also those shades with that red eye goes hard as hell, i LOVE it.

[@GreatGrandmasterWang]

Terminator

[@madelineschuttauf7459]

What an incredible man. It is extremely difficult to build off of one’s biggest insecurities and losses and turn them into something beautiful.

[@captainflowers748]

assume it is a insecurity and not like something fun to do

[@sparklesparklesparkle6318]

@@captainflowers748 if i lost my depth perception I would always feel a bit insecure. I use depth perception like 99.5% of my life i'd be at a huge disadvantage if I lost it I always do what I can to protect my eyes.

[@supermajesticman3898]

He needs to do a terminator cosplay.

[@mechsupernova]

I'd go everywhere in terminator cosplay.

[@Corruptedhope]

The undertale fans: are you sure about that?

[@matthewbest5421]

@@Corruptedhope I would love both the terminator and sans eye implants lol

[@user-mq5dr1jh5t]

dude! first comment!

[@mjremy2605]

Incredible! Taking a lemon and making lemonade. Fantastic, creative, scientific, and hugely inspirational. Thank you!

[@trace1506]

What a great dude, and better yet he as a eye for design!

[@omohosp]

My bf lost his eye to cancer when he was a little kid. He’s always been embarrassed of his prosthetic, but I’ve always seen it as a beautifully unique part of him. I am going to show him this video.

[@lennyt266]

I am impressed! He also mentioned a few problems with losing an eye and I recognize and empathize with him because I didn't lose an eye - I just went blind in one. And I got sick of people saying, "Oh yeah, but you still have one good eye so no problem". Wrong. So much changes. It took me, at 59 years old, 2 years to fully adapt. As Brian said, so much to process. Just watching him with the original prosthetic eye and his amazing modifications, makes me envious. Because of a small sliver of light still coming in on the left side of my left eye, that is where my eye points. It makes me look whacky...well, whackier. But I'm wondering...is Brian is considering marketing his product?

[@reagantilkaran5932]

Hello. I also lost one of my eye in an accident. For a while i have been thinking about this idea for a prosthetic eye but getting a small led and battery is a bit of a challenge. Can you tell me where you got the lights. Im thinking of making it using resin.

[@lennyt266]

Hi Reagan - I'm not the one who created the 'cyborg' eye. If you want to comment to him, Brian Stanley, go up to the top of the comment area until you see "Add a Comment". Good luck with your mission!!

[@IBeforeAExceptAfterK]

Kids adapt much quicker than adults do. Losing an eye at age 6 is a lot different than losing one at almost 60. At this point he's gone without an eye for most of his life.

[@99Azrick]

I just lost my eye to cancer a few weeks ago. How do I get one of those?

[@amalsp8955]

You could wear an eyepatch like your profile

[@alabenda]

I'm sure you could contact him and commission him to make one for you!

[@thepizzacarpizza1056]

His eye now is the opposite of an eye

[@EvergreenLP]

Such a great guy!

[@Mikkyrain]

Put this man in a cyborg movie.

From the moment i understood the weakness of my flesh

[@thesupremeduck]

it disgusted me.

[@VoltscrewVolt]

This guy is so badass, Imagine if Demoman had that!

[@francoismorin6806]

Sir you can make the most awesome T800 cosplay ever

[@sansational15]

He could do the best Sans cosplay.

[@Fifenfurter]

I literally looked up prosthetic eyes to see what kind of options there were in case something as unfortunate as that ever happened to me. I knew there'd be something cool out there. This looks sick af. Brilliant dude.

[@WhiskeyToro]

Never thought I'd ever wish for losing an eye.

[@Vemberwost]

this goes so unfathomably hard 😳🔥

[@bethanyoneal5789]

My dad is blind in one eye due a childhood accident, he still has his original eye, but if he ever get a prosthetic he should totally get a flashlight like this guy

[@fabman132]

Legit flashlight eye. Love that. But as a cosplay enthusiast....cannot stress how awesome that is. So chuffed for this guy

[@venkatadri1299]

That's just amazing and looks super cool...!!

[@Jo-oo1mx]

Thats sick!

[@Safiyahalishah]

Holy shit, the best part is how the light shines through his eyelid. That's dope as hell.

This needs more views it's so cool

[@larnregis]

His introduction to women: "I am Borg, resistance is futile."

[@OrangeJulius_JMC]

Wouldn't that get hot in the socket or is it made to not produce much heat after extended use, especially with how bright they are?

[@RomeoBlueMK.1]

I’m jealous. This is the future! I’ve had dreams of losing my eye and replacing it with a multi-task camera with night vision, x-ray, lights and heat vision. You’ve done one but that’s still spectacular

[@tdavani]

I am trying to help another person with the same problem be able to do the flash light led part. I can make the eyy but i would like to know how you did this and how safe it is with battery part and how you charge it every night? I hope you can do how to making it led and its issues

[@pospc2]

That is wonderful.

[@brandoncorona-patton3079]

Imagine using your eyeball instead of your phone flashlight

[@MalaMaja1986]

This is sooo awesome!!!

[@Msbuddy08sej]

That is too amazing. Wowwww. I'm impressed.

[@idunrllykno2391]

I feel like hes about to ask me for my clothes, my boots and my motorcycle.

[@RichGwilliam]

This is especially historically cool because Plato believed that visual perception used "eye beams" - your eye shot out beams that bounced off things and back into the eye. Now we know that the eye doesn't shoot beams at all - it just collects photons. Except this guy's; he has one eye that shoots the photons out and one that collects them. For the first time in history, Plato was right on this. For just this one guy.

[@dalton6173]

You should make one that projects your channel logo. Maybe just a Lazer with the 90's style filter if it. Still would be cool.
