The life of self-professed Melbourne ‘cyclops’, Chloe Watson, changed forever this morning, when she was fitted with a prosthetic eye. Taking a light-hearted approach to a confronting procedure, Watson often joked about living the 'cyclops' life.

For the past seven weeks, the 23-year-old Coburg woman has been rocking an eye patch after having her right eye removed.

"I've never experienced what it's like to have two eyes that look the same. I am so incredibly happy that this saga is over. This is one of the best feelings," Watson said moments after seeing her new prosthetic in the mirror for the first time.

Channeling her inner pirate, wearing an eye patch to a recent punk gig, caught the attention of former Triple J host and guitarist of punk band Frenzal Rhomb, Lindsay ‘The Doctor’ McDougall, who is also donning an eye patch after his own recent emergency procedure for a detached retina.

Watson was in the audience at a Frenzal Rhomb gig in Mulgrave last Saturday night, where guitarist of support act Clowns donned an eye patch in solidarity for McDougall, who made himself a running gag throughout the show.

When McDougall spotted Watson in the crowd mid set, he yelled into the mic: “Look, guys, it’s totally a thing!” to which Watson shouted back saying it wasn’t ‘a thing’ and she had an eye removed. McDougall fist bumped her for being a legend, and they sought each other out for a photo after the show.
