The 62-year-old resurfaced at a NYC event on Sunday, looking frozen in
time.
In the '70s, Sandy lost vision in her left eye after having a tumor
removed from behind it. Contrary to rumors, she does not have a glass
eye.
In the '90s, there was an alternative band called Sandy Duncan's Eye.

Urban Legend FINALLY revealed:
This interview quotes Sandy Duncan explaining that she does not have a
glass eye:
What a vision! And speaking of visions . . . your ‘fake eye’ was the
object of a joke on Family Guy. Are you aware of this?
Yes. My son called me from Tulane and told me. I didn’t see it. I know
they did some silly joke – many people think I have a glass eye. I had
a tumor in my left eye which killed the optic nerve, but it’s my real
eye. I just cannot see out of it. It remains a period of adjustment –
sometimes things will be just out of range. I have no depth
perception, so I have to memorize and track where things are, sort of
like radar. I recently had cataracts in my good eye and they removed
them and replaced the lens and I can actually see without glasses, and
I have worn them since I was 12! But like all mortals my age, I still
need them to read.
> Wow! Man, she REALLY looks good. Again, she, too, looks BETTER than
> when she was younger.
Sarcasm detector on.
This is what I remember her from, quoted from Wikipedia:
"In the mid-1960s, Duncan was one more unknown actress in Los Angeles,
when she was selected for a part in a TV commercial for United
California Bank. Portraying a bank teller who finds it impossible to
pronounce the name of customer "Nickolas Janopoparopolis," despite
several tries, she apologetically asks "Do you mind if I just call you
'Nick'?""
