What, like that guy in Die Another Day with the "million dollar acne" (I think that's what Bond called it)?

From a medical and general perspective -- ouch.

Im sorry but thats just a bit too sick for my liking. I wonder if it gives them a blind spot?

PostPosted: **Sun Apr 11, 2004 8:46 am**

o.o; Oh dear....I'm sure that can't be good for your vision.

PostPosted: **Sun Apr 11, 2004 8:52 am**

I've seen this before, but its pretty minging!
I definatley wouldn't get it done!

Uhm... One word: GROSSNESS! o.O;;

I wear glasses normally, and whenever I go in for a check-up I hate the glaucoma test where they puff air into your eye... To me, IMPLANTING something directly into the eyeball would be a thousand times worse.

(And how vain does one have to be to have their eyeball decorated? Yeesh...)

PostPosted: **Sun Apr 11, 2004 9:45 am**

EEEEE I have glasses too!And the air in the eye thing is hooooooooooooooribble!!!!
Does the jewerly stay in your eye forever or can they take it out?

PostPosted: **Sun Apr 11, 2004 10:04 am**

That was got to the the most stupid idea I've ever heard

PostPosted: **Sun Apr 11, 2004 10:15 am**

*shudders* I can't imagine WHY anyone would want to have something like that ON their eye~ Isn't that what those patterned contacts are for? >.< Those things are a lot less painful, too.

Ugh, I saw this the other day. Did anyone catch how nasty her eye looked with all the veins (or are they arteries? Shoo can correct me here) clumping around her "jeweleye"....I hope that's a fad that quickly dies out, personally.

> Did anyone catch how nasty her eye looked with all the veins (or are they arteries? Shoo can correct me here) clumping around her "jeweleye"

Probably a bit of both -- the point being that it looks inflamed. It's a foreign body jammed in the eyeball, for crying out loud -- no wonder the body wants it out! :eh:

I still don't understand how this wouldn't cut through the conjunctiva or irritate the globe or surrounding membranes incessantly after a while. It looks like a setup for scarring to me.

Feh. There's no accounting for tastes. But YHWH knows I would never do that. Voluntarily, that is.

PostPosted: **Sun Apr 11, 2004 1:53 pm**

ouch...

This is a pretty foolish idea, for a number of reasons (most already mentioned). And what happens if someone pokes you in the eye? Wouldn't this make it easier for you to go blind?

$610 to $1,232

On top of everything...it's expensive!

PostPosted: **Sun Apr 11, 2004 2:49 pm**

PostPosted: **Sun Apr 11, 2004 3:38 pm**

Oh good grief...
That's the dumbest thing I've heard of in a long time.

The lengths some people will go to... :eyeroll:

Okay, that's just wrong, and wrong, and did I mention wrong?

All your base are belong to us!

Yeah so its spam but its all I could think of after reading that

PostPosted: **Sun Apr 11, 2004 10:46 pm**

hey that remindÂ´s me of the RPG Shadowrun!

PostPosted: **Sun Apr 11, 2004 10:49 pm**

I think itâ€™s cool as an idea, but kinda gross in reality.

On a side note, I wear glasses, but I donâ€™t care what they do to me at the doctorâ€™s, so long as they donâ€™t dilate my pupils. Thatâ€™s just a nuisance.

Doc: Alright, we're going to use this drill to poke your eyes so we can put the jewelry in. While so, you'll be staring right into the drill because we're not prepared to remove your eyelids while this surgery is undertaken.
Me: ...

No way. That's just not right.

" wrote: John Dart, a consultant ophthalmic surgeon at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, said this type of surgery could irritate the eye.

"The stud is quite likely to move around and migrate because the tissue in the conjunctiva is quite loose," he said.

"Any movement is likely to cause inflammation. If it moves, there will be some scar tissue and you could get some bleeding."

An Eyecare Trust spokesman said anything inserted beneath the cornea is "potentially dangerous".

He added: "Jewellery is fine, but not in the eye.

This is one idea that instantly induces the thought of "EEEEEEEWwwwwwwwww" for me..
