“戴着义眼同样可以很自信！”

近日，一位90后女孩昕瞳因自己“会发光”的义眼视频火了。视频里的她面对镜头自信地笑着，将手指从眼前轻轻划过，瞬间从瞳孔中“召唤”出一道光芒，绮丽而又神秘。

A Chinese woman who lost an eye in a road accident more than a decade ago has received glowing praise for developing cool-looking artificial eyes as she battles to conquer appearance anxiety that often accompanies such a loss.

2013年时，因为一场车祸，18岁的昕瞳不得不将右眼摘除。手术后在医生建议下，她装上了第一只义眼。佩戴义眼8年，她认识了很多单眼人士，也看到了大家的焦虑与自卑，这让昕瞳下决心做一名“义眼师”。

Following a car accident in 2013, a woman in China lost her right eye and had to wear a prosthetic one. The former dancer and actress from Beijing, who is known by her online nickname, Xintong, completed the process of becoming a self-taught ocularist, or artificial eye maker, two years ago. She spent years honing her skills through a process of trial and error, driven by a desire to help others with a similar disability rediscover their confidence.

义眼也叫人工佩戴假眼。刚装上义眼时，昕瞳非常崩溃无助。“打羽毛球接不住、倒水倒在桌子外面、下楼梯踩空、拿一个东西拿空等情况经常发生。”缺乏空间感，给她的生活增添了很多麻烦，经常会出现磕磕碰碰。

“I had very narrow vision. I couldn’t track the shuttlecock when playing badminton. When I poured water I would miss the cup and when I walked downstairs I would miss my step. I also had difficulty crossing the road,” she said.

在佩戴义眼初期，义眼带给昕瞳的心理伤害远甚于身体上的不适感。对昕瞳而言，走出低谷的漫长岁月中，心里一点点堆积起来的极度自卑让她十分受折磨，外貌也一直是昕瞳所在意的。

As a result of being the tender age of 18 at the time of the accident, the change to her facial appearance and loss of physical capabilities left her with a sense of “extreme inferiority”.

起初，昕瞳佩戴了不适合自己的义眼片，既不美观，还会导致眼睛发炎。后来，佩戴义眼的不适经历让昕瞳觉得“要是我能按照自己喜欢的来做义眼就好了”。

“I thought to myself, it would be great if I can produce ones according to my own tastes,” she recalled.

2020年，她为了学习义眼片技术，辞去了舞蹈教师的工作，并开了一间属于自己的义眼定制工作室，用自己的技术为更多人带来了合适的义眼。昕瞳把义眼称为“大美瞳”。为了成为一名优秀的义眼制作师，她不断尝试，用切身感受提高义眼眼球的逼真性和舒适度。

“因为我自己淋过雨，想为别人打把伞。”她希望，无论是年迈的老人还是年幼的孩童，都能在她这里点亮眼中的光芒。

She pursued her dream and in 2020 quit her teaching job to devote herself full-time to artificial eye-making. After a long process of trial and error, she mastered making her ideal artificial eyes, opened a workshop and hired three assistants. From the outset, her aim has been to help people like her by providing them with custom-made artificial eyes. “Because I once got wet in the rain, I now want to give others an umbrella,” she said.

最近，昕瞳在义眼中植入了一个磁吸灯，配有控制开关，可以令义眼保持发光。她将发光义眼拍成视频，上传到自己的短视频平台，引发了无数网友的关注。

昕瞳说，这个创意来源于一个国外博主，看到他制作的钛合金的眼片很炫酷，就想自己去尝试，给那些和自己遭遇相似的人一些力量，告诉他们戴上义眼也可以很酷：“反正别人已经用异样的眼光看我了，为什么不直接夸张一点，追寻我喜欢的呢？”

The idea came from a “very cool” overseas ocularist who did not care what other people said or thought about people who had lost an eye. “People already look at me in a peculiar way, so why not exaggerate how I appear and use that to my advantage?” Xintong said.
