What is a glass eye made of?

A man in a quiz show was given the question: What is a glass eye made of?

He really applied himself, but for the life of him just couldn’t come up with an answer.

“The answer, sir” said the host when the time was up, “is of course, glass.”

“But of course!” said the man. “How else would you be able to see through it!”

That came to mind when I was going through the following quiz about the weird and wonderful things in our world. Enjoy!
