A member asked:
Will a prosthetic left eye also look up if the right eye looks up at a tall building?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some do: There are many ways to prepare a eye socket for a prosthetic eye. Some of the ways do impart movement to the prosthesis. It is more common to provide left-right movement only, however. So most prosthetic eyes do not "look" up or down.
