Best Answer

The eyeball was often pushed into the eye socket and covered with a linen pad.

Sometimes eyes were painted onto the linen, but eventually the Egyptians began to use stone or glass eyes.

Sometimes mummies had whole onions for eyes and occasionally received onion skins to cover the eyes, but a more common method was to use dried grapes and beeswax.
