Dutch eye surgeons have implanted tiny pieces of jewellery called JewelEye in the mucous membrane of the eyes of six women and one man in cosmetic surgery pioneered by an ophthalmic surgery research and development institute in Rotterdam.

Why stop there? Why not go the full course, permanent chrome-mirror pupils, to cruise with Gunhead up the hills?

On preview: OUCH. I've suffered from teary eyes like a sick dog when a microscopic gravel bit lodged on my eye, feeling like a freakin' boulder was in there. Can't imagine the disconfort that would provoke.

They could've at least made something attractive. This looks like a mistake, like an unfortunate glitter glue accident.

i'm rather fond of the idea.
let's not be too critical. tattoos and piercings used to be taboo too, remember. some of you find the "eyebling" unattractive. perhaps that is because of the practice's infancy. i'm sure as it matures we'll see better designs and materials being used.
i'm all for it.

Okay, you go first.

im sure when the bling bling dirty souf rap community gets wind of this it will be all the rage. Mouths full of diamond encrusted gold teeth is gaudy and ugly too, there's no accounting for taste.

incidently, i flipped passed and got sucked into an MTV show called making the band last night and saw a rapper named chopper buy a matching ring, chain, and earing in gold and diamonds for the cost of something like 75,000 and then fly on a jet back to his home town to visit his family who he 'missed so much', who lived in a tennament building in the ghetto. How f*cked up is this guys priorities?

step one, move family to a comfortable and safe neighborhood.

step two, purchase enough jewelery to impress the most shallow woman you can afford.

step three, surgical eyebling.

Hmm. It *is* gaudy. But, then again...I wear contacts, and I really *really* want mirrored ones..darkened...for the intense sun we get here where I live in the desert and up in the mountain snows. The sun is outrageously bright in both environments here...and it would look *so* crazy. Heh.

I just want to state, for the record, that I won't be having this done. Ever.

I can imagine the types that will get little red LEDs installed, though. Does the battery wind up inside the eyeball, or somewhere inside your sinuses?

it's the bloodshot thing that makes it so icky. can't see it taking off in its present form. though yoofs still persist with eyebrow piercings so what do i know?
