47-year-old Osborne, who was convicted of ramming a van into a crowd of people outside the London mosque in 2017, was stabbed by convicted murdered Patrick Chandler in an 'unprovoked attack' at HMP Full Sutton, in York.
He was left with permanent damage to his right eye after Chandler, 48, stabbed him in the head, arm and torso with a self-made blade fashioned from a wooden tool, a court heard.
Osborne - who is serving a 43-year sentence behind bars for his role in the terrorist attack - was assaulted so violently that part of the weapon snapped and was embedded in his forehead.
The attack left Osborne 'terrified' he would permanently lose his vision after he was told he could require a 'glass eye' in the future.
Hull Crown Court heard how Chandler launched the vicious attack on Osborne while on the sports pitch at the maximum security prison in York.
Chandler was sentenced to life with a minimum of 18 years for the murder of John Comer in Manningtree, Essex, in 2017, before later getting an extra 10 years added after he attacked another inmate at a prison in Chelmsford.
