No, I had a fairly major discussion with a collection of piercers who came up with a few theories on how it could be made...

Titanium paste seems to be the way go, surgical grade when hardened and easy enough to work with to get the appropriate shape.

Everyone thinks it should be coated with plastic before i would wear it though, with the problem being the exact type of plastic that's recommended for occular prosthetics...

So, there's limited theoretical progress, but no concrete progress.

Also, kinda related, I've decided to go back to university to study Medical Engineering. Maybe I could make myself an eye in a few years time...



Aside: If anyone has Steve Haworth's email address, that'd be nice.
