Hi there, I'm curious with designs, if it would make sense for someone who lost their eyes to injury or was born without them, to have their eyelids sealed closed instead of using prosthetic/glass eyes, if there would be any reasons for that?

Hey, not really to my knowledge. At least I never heard of it being done just because of eye loss, though it could be done where there's an infection going on to help it heal (that's what happened to Jean-Dominique Bauby, the guy who wrote The Diving Bell and the Butterfly). If someone was born without eyes, the recommended thing is getting either ocular prosthetics or conformers. I wrote about it here on a different blog some time ago. The impression you might get from some eyeless people as having their eyelids sealed is that they don't have the muscles to open them, since if they were always totally blind it's just not something they automatically learned to do, so the eyelids stay closed. And if they never wore any prosthetics/conformers then the structure of that part of the face is often different so it might look even more like that
