This man lost his eye and replaced it with an unusual object that he built himself

Brian Stanley, a US citizen living in California, unfortunately, lost an eye to cancer. While most people in his situation choose to hide the loss with a glass eye or an eye patch, this man went the cyber route and designed himself a real, functional and practical torch.

'It's perfect for reading in the dark'

An engineer by training, Stanley decided to put his education to good use after losing his eye. So rather than looking like a pirate, he decided to transform himself into a futuristic cyborg. In a video that has gone viral on TikTok, he presents his new invention: the Titanium Cyborg Eye! As he explains, the torch works perfectly:

Battery life: about 20 hours and no, it doesn't get hot

He adds that his invention is 'perfect for reading in the dark'.

A tool that can still be improved

According to the video, the torch is switched on and off by means of a sensor. While his invention is undeniably cool, there is also room for improvement. The titanium cyborg eye, like a DBZ villain, only works at 50% of its power. Stanley says he plans to improve it to make it shine even more!

A fan of Mr Jack's Christmas, he has also designed a lens bearing the image of the film's hero. Something to impress the crowd during the next Halloween.
