Just wondering if anyone here actually finds implantable ocular jewelry appealing.

I didn't, which isn't really surprising, considering I don't find its tamer counterpart (i.e. tattoos) appealing either. Of course, that won't stop it from becoming the new teenage fad once surgeons start practicing the procedure in the US.
 
I wouldn't mess with my eye for any reasons. I wouldn't wear contacts either, I'd have a laser operation befor I'd put in contacts.
 
Eek. No way. I'm wixked squeamish about eyes. Don't know why, I just am. I wouldn't even consider contacts. It just grosses me out, for reasons I can't pin down.

And I can't imagine that being very good for your eye, either....
 
Anyone stupid enough to implant jewelry in their eyes would probably never use their eyes for anything useful anyway.
 
Dire need to express individuality? OR a dire need to need personalize something in this, growing, mass produced world where your identity is reduced to a number? For the life in me I do not understand why, out of all the things to treat as a canvas on your body, would you choose the eye.

P.S Does anyone else think that isn't a good picture to advertise eye jewelry or use it for reporting purposes?

See what I mean...doesn't look too healthy does it.
 
I think it looks pretty cool. Maybe there will prove to be horrifying damage, in which case it's a shame, but aesthetically, I'm all for it. I like body modification *a lot* and I think doing things to parts that aren't generally altered is especially interesting. And any particular individual's reason for any kind of body modification doesn't really matter to me. If a bunch of people want little shapes inserted into their eyes because they think it'll make them cool, what the fuck, they can do whatever they want with their eyes. The why is only significant when I'm doing something to my own body, and even then it's not always a bigger issue than 'because I want to.'
 
I have to say that is the most retarded thing I have seen in a long time. This just appears to be another stupid fad that will, most likely, not catch on right away.
The drawl backs? It's expensive for what you are actually getting out of the deal and, more importantly, IT"S IN YOUR EYE!!!

I mean seriously, having anythign in your eye for long periods of time is bad. Now we are purposefully inserting jewelery there? The six people that actually had this done have to be idiots. What happens if you rub it?
No thanks. I'll keep my eyes the way they are. I don't need something surgically implanted in it to make me feel special.
 
I'm just waiting for the report in a little bit ... "Eye jewelry causes [insert negative thing here]!"
 
Blame the Muslims!

My only comment sounds much like Certified and Ozy, only a little more harsh:

• Look, people are upset about the health effects of all sorts of choices. Don't socialize a part of American medicine, because smokers might get a benefit. Obese people don't need help, they just need to eat what we think they should be able to survive on. In the end, people should do what they want, but nobody dumb enough to implant jewelry in their eye should be allowed to ask for any public assistance for any injury or illness, except to contain transmission of disease. Every pamphlet to help the afflicted deal with their troubles should, in this case, start with, "Welcome, Dipsh@t!" in braille.

Honestly? I didn't think vanity could get any dumber than Asian-Americans having their eye sockets surgically rounded in order to blanche their Asian appearance and look more "American."

And this time ... it's the Dutch! (Can this be blamed on the Muslims?)

And in the picture posted by sargentlard. Doesn't the blood vessels (or what ever) wrapped around the heart mean something. Am I missing something here or what.......
 
Here's another person who had the surgery done:

I find it a bit odd that there is a crater-like indentation around the implant. Anyone else see that besides me?

CP:

I don't think they mean much. She was most likely rubbing her eyes prior to the photo.

On an unrelated note, notice that in the first photo, the heart is slightly askew. One would think that such things would be checked before completion of the surgery, especially one that is so aesthetically motivated.

No, Dapthar, this is never going to be a "teenage fad" in the USA.

I wouldn't be too sure. You'd be surprised at how many teenagers decided to get a certain type of piercing after this year's superbowl.

I do not know, but if you wear contacts too long at a time your eyes get pretty dry, which is not good at all. Can this also happen with this stupid jewelry? (It would be an explanation for the indentation around it)
 
It doesn't even look cool, a little tacky gold star? Thats pathetic. People after looking at your eyes for a while would just say "hey you got some crap in your eye".
Why anyone would do this I have no idea.
