What in the world are they thinking?

The newest trend, get ready for it...EYE JEWELRY! If you ask me... this is kinda creepy.... no... this is creepy....

[shooraijin]

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.

[DrNic]

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

[Debitt]

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

[Kawaii_Angel]

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

[Staci]

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...)

[Kawaii_Angel]

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?

[Solid Ronin]

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

[Debitt]

*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.

[Ashley]

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.

[Lightbringer]

i would be afraid to blink, id think id cut my lids up or something

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!

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.

[Ingemar]

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

[cbwing0]

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!

[glitch1501]

link, are you a member of ao?

[chibi_chan]

why would somebody wanna get that done? It's sick!

[MasterDias]

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

The lengths some people will go to...

[Link Antilles]

link, are you a member of ao?

Audit Office? Nah. Seriously, though, ummm... forgive me, but what's ao?



There has got to be some long term effects.... Anyways, this is about as wierd as that tongue splitting thing.... don't worry, I'm not posting pictures of that .... it gave me the shakes and chills up my spine.

[JediSonic]

animeonline?


Anyway that sounds S-I-C-K!! I'm pretty sure I dont want to see any pictures of that either *shudder*

Aren't colored contacts enough? Sheesh!

Oh, and I did the eye-puff thing a couple of times.. its not really that bad just unpleasant.. I mean it doesnt hurt at least.

[Link Antilles]

animeonline

Oh... silly me. Nope, this is the only anime site I'm a member of... aside from Anime Angels. Why'd ya' ask that?

[glitch1501]

oh ok, just wondering cause this was a thread there too

[ShiroiHikari]

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

This coming from the girl who doesn't even have pierced ears XD

[Locke]

cool

will they do liver piercing as well?

[Retten]

All your base are belong to us!

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

[Macross]

hey that remind´s me of the RPG Shadowrun!

[Aka-chan]

I think it’s cool as an idea, but kinda gross in reality.

On a side note, I wear glasses, but I don’t care what they do to me at the doctor’s, so long as they don’t dilate my pupils. That’s just a nuisance.

[LorentzForce]

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.

[Straylight]

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..
