Yes, yes, it's true-
a Dutch trend via surgical implant..........some people go too far......

I saw more pictures of that on Yahoo's most emailed photos page. I think it's pretty crazy. A peircing is different in that you don't usually look at it when speaking to the person.

this brings back bad memories of Last Action Hero

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

good times good times, I totally forgot about that movie, I need to go buy it so I can watch it over and over, love it.

On topic: This eyeball jewelry thing is ridiculous *shakes head at body modification*

and when they go blind or lose some sight, they'll blame the people that did it, not the choice that they made.

and if they were in the US they'd sue.

This sounds okay. It's good that they're doing this kind of research. I'd be tempted to use the technology if they ever came up with something useful.

I'm more with Cynthetiq. It may be useful later, after they debug it, true. Implant something to allow night vision, for instance, and/or heat vision. Superman-implants, anyone? REPLACE the retina completely.

that sounds pretty neeto...
wanna see some pics...

dont think i would do that myself... eye is way too fragile and sensitive...

I saw a picture of this. Yuck! Gives me the heebie jeebies!

Piercings, tattos, I get that, and most of the time they look good. But eye jewelry! Not only does it look awful, but I don't even want to think about the risks of something like that. What happens if you get knocked in the face somehow? A black eye turns into blindness, yay. If you want to mess with your eyes, get colored contacts. I hope this trend dies out very quickly.

I wouldn't even call it a trend. Seems to me like some more extreme body mod like hook hanging which only a small handful of people do.

For this reason someone will get a skull-shaped jewel.

hmm... well i think its a bit risky... but whatever. people should do as they wish. i know i wouldnt do it. im a lil bit afraid of getting lazer surgery.... this is just cray to me.

It's one thing if your ear gets infected from a piercing, you lose cartilidge or your tongue piercing cracks your teeth, but why would you risk your eyesight? Nuts if you ask me.

There's four balls on my body that I try to keep far away from sharp objects.

Thats simply disgusting... people never cease to amaze me.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But those things look neat.

...And i tell ye, those people wearing sunglasses... Freaks.

All that glass so close to your eye? what happens if they get hit? have a car wreck? get a wasp caught between the lense and their eye?

If it's comfortable for the wearer, has no known side effects, then what is wrong with it?

It's just squeamishnessess, anything new that people do to cosmetically alter their appearance will always be called freakish by the vast majority. Especially if it involves needles or scalpels.

Earrings, glasses, caps on teeth, breast implants, penile extensions, mole/wart removal, necklaces, shaving, whatever... there's a risk to doing and wearing pretty much everything.

We usually forget that, because we have to.

Wow.

I never thought goin' blind would be a trend.

I really wish people could feel good about themselves without all the accessories. AuNatural is safer and cheaper. Simple is sexy!

So by all natural you mean no rings , necklaces, earrings,toerings, anything that is considered JEWELRY is looped into what you said Boo.

So if you wear clothing. Yer not being natural either cause this is a accessorie as well.

Anyways its just a stupid point.

I find it to be different. And different is good.

But thats my opinion and we all know what opinions are like.

Gotta agree with Skettios: opens up alot of possibilities and new perspectives. But for plain jewelry, I think I'll pass.

Yikes...I saw this article the other day, and that creeps me out. It's hard enough to put in eye drops, let alone a piece of metal into my eye.

And damn OshnSoul! I didn't need such a closeup pic! *shudders* :crazy:

Whatever floats your boat? I prefer to keep my eyes just the way they are.

Man, to each his own, but I could never do something like that.

All i gotta say is OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OMGPLZDONTTOUCHMYEYE!!

I must be old. My first thought was, "whats the point?" And the thought that something could go wrong and blindness as a result.
My 13yr thinks its the cats meow but would never pay that much.
Amazing what people will do to get noticed. Almost pathetic.
