Cregan was subjected to twice-daily checks behind his false eye as part of the intensive security operation surrounding his trial.
Around 150 officers - several armed - swamped Preston Crown Court on each day of the trial which started in February as they monitored the complex and surrounding streets.
Two snipers were positioned on the facing roof of a solicitor's building, while a portable cabin was erected at the entrance to assist in the searching of all visitors.
The cost of the security operation topped £5m.
