Far sighted?

GLASS eyes continued. John Sword at Glasgow meat market  remembers his father telling him about catching the no. 2 bus in Stockwell Street with a friend who had a glass eye.

When the bus drew up and the conductress announced they were full, the chap took out his false eye, threw it up in the air, caught it, and announced to the conductress: “I see there’s two seats up the stair.”
