Experts study glass eye, perhaps (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prosthesis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'glass eye perhaps' is the definition.
(glass eye is a kind of prosthesis)

'experts study' is the wordplay.
'experts' becomes 'pros' (professionals).
'study' becomes 'thesis' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pros'+'thesis'='PROSTHESIS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prosthesis that I've seen before include "False part" , "what can help a handicapped person" , "This may supply missing part" , "Part replacement" , "artificial substitute" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
