The claim that Ken Paxton has an artificial eye is contradicted by multiple sources describing his own natural eyes after a childhood injury, including surgeries, a droopy eyelid, and a 'good' left eye.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… You know, my God, hate to admit it, you was right. Too late. I don't want to hear it. He's just pissing me off. Let's get this straight right now, because somehow it matters. Ken Paxton does not have a lazy eye. He has an artificial eye. His eye was gouged out. Okay, alright, is that i told you during the campaign with Crinshaw, don't make fun of his eye. Oh, oh, one eye.

Contradicts. Houston Chronicle (2025) reports that after a childhood eye injury Paxton has two different-colored eyes, with the left eye green and the right brown, and that the left eye remains his good eye.[1]
Contradicts. Express News (2025) describes doctors cutting the eye open to remove the lens, leaving Paxton with a brown right eye and a drooping eyelid, which describes a surgically treated natural eye rather than a prosthesis.[2]
Contradicts. Vanity Fair (2026-10-30) describes Paxton as having a lazy eye from a childhood accident, not an artificial eye.[3]
Contradicts. At a September 2026 Dallas USHBC event, Paxton himself described his childhood eye injury, five surgeries, and permanent vision impairment, with no mention of an artificial eye.[4]
Context. A Nick Lachey page claims both that Paxton has no glass eye and that he does have one, and it is low credibility, so it does not support the claim.[5]
