Real Housewives of Dallas viewers are questioning why LeeAnne Locken’s husband has a patch covering his eye.
The cast members on the Bravo series are usually pretty open when it comes to showing us the ins and outs of their love lives.
Rich is amongst the housewives’ husbands who regularly make an appearance on the show – after all, the series’ name does give it away…
So what happened to LeeAnne’s husband’s eye? Why does he have a patch?
Who is LeeAnne’s husband Rich?
Rich Emberlin is a 58-year-old former police officer from Waco, Texas.
He is best known for his work on 2017 thriller film Trafficked.
Rich is a 30-year law enforcement veteran, who served with the Dallas Police Department’s elite units, including Dallas SWAT for 17 years.
I like Rich more and more with each episode. He keeps it real. Plus, the eye patch is sexy. #RHOD

What happened to Rich’s eye?
Many fans have been wondering why Rich now wears a patch on his right eye, when he didn’t always wear one before.
Rich suffered several injuries while on duty, including being shot at and stabbed in the hand. LeeAnne has admitted that she would sit at home and wonder if he was alive sometimes.
In 2016, he had to retire from his role as a police officer after getting an injury in his right eye, which left him permanently blind.
Have they said what happened to Rich’s eye? Like is the eye patch permanent? I need to know. #RHOD
