I have always wondered this. Clearly there is an eye we do not see.

Is the eye a) still there and functioning, but it's hidden by her hair? b) still there but non-functioning, or c) it's been removed because of the damage?

I don't think it's been removed, but I'm not sure if it works or not. I've heard it go both ways.

I'm pretty sure one of the devs said that Hanako has two functional eyes.

I actually wondered that myself. I always thought it might be damaged since the burns seem to go over it.

well I remember someone saying that she was blind in that eye. I guess that was wrong.

yeah, that's what I thought too

f-f-found it! Also on the first page, the 100% completion CG where you see both of them.

Here's her right eye from the 100% completion reward image.
I'm not sure how credible it is, perhaps it's solid canon. I think a dev might have stated that it is fine, but I don't remember. You never know, maybe it's a realistic glass replica? Because with the scarring on her face, I personally don't think the eye could still be functional after that kind of damage.

Edit: Damnit kosher.

..... Y' know, now I wonder if this thread will eventually make it's way into the FAQ just because of the number this has been asked. Or maybe make the thread kosher quoted a sticky or something.
Next question porbably will be if Hanako's boobs are undamaged or if one is missing or like "a bag of sand" or the lack thereof....

Or the extent of Shizune's lip-reading abilities, if she has any at all.

She has two functional eyes that her mama gave to her. The emokid hairstyle just covers the right eye.

Mystery solved.

And I guess it would be more useless speculation to discuss how it was left undamaged in the first place. Probably just luck.

She closed her eye? It never even crossed my mind that it might be non-functioning until I saw this thread!

I also assume that the scars are mainly on her face and left arm (and possibly lower left leg) and that whatever clothing she was wearing was enough to shield her chest from any severe damage. If there is scarring there I would assume it's much less severe than on the exposed parts of her body.

The way her wound is, I thought it was a sudden blast or wave and not necessarily any kind of prolonged flame exposure that caused the burns. Since she was very young when it happened too, I figured her body was able to recover fairly well over the years on her less exposed parts (I pictured her wearing a short sleeved shirt and shorts during the blast, or pajamas with shorter sleeves).

You know, having your hair in front of your eyes all the time puts a lot of strain on them. I just hope that Hanako won't eventually need glasses, because I doubt that Hisao's heart could bear this amount of moe.

When nobody's looking I bet she holds her hair out of the way, ready to drop it back if she hears footsteps approaching.

Hmm, maybe she held her hand just in front of her eye? That would explain the scars on her wrist and hand as well....

Aw, now I want to see a picture of Hanako with glasses....
