Wow...this is too much...

[PepperRSM]

Apparently, the new way to modify your body is to get a platinum jewel implanted under your cornea...!! :eek: :eek:
I shocked when I saw this...I can't believe someone would do this! I think it would be really unconfortable :o

Here's the story/picture (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1756&e=2&u=/040407/ids_photos_en/r809895955.jpg)

WHY?

Eesh... Haven't people ever heard of natural?

[CathyBogart]

interesting! I don't know if I like it or not, it's very different....

[Karen]

My sight is too important to me to even begin to take that seriously. Ah, it's probably just a Photoshopped thing anyway.

[guster girl]

It's pretty, but, not for me. :)

[Uabassoon]

That grossed me out. But I guess if someone wants to do it, then why not.

[trayi52]

Laura, I'm with you, it grossed me out too!! I'm just too old for that kind of thing anyway, and like Karen said my eyesight is more important to me than that. I already have trouble seeing.

I have always had this thing about my eyes anyway, I don't like anything getting near them. Except my glasses!

Eww. It grossed me out too O_O I can't take anything like that eye related. It grosses me out

[teenster3]

Geez,
What will they think of next? And I thought it was bad when I was at the mall and saw a girl with those implanted horns on her head! I had to take a second and third look at that one. :eek:

[Twisterdog]

That is SO disgusting. I would NEVER do anything like that to my eyes! YIKES! :eek:

[G.P.girl]

i htink it's kinda pretty, but it is takign things alittle too far. there's NO way i would ever let anyone put one of those anywhere near my eye!

[RubyMutt]

Honestly, when I read the description you wrote I thought it would be a bit too much, but then I saw the photo...

I really like it! I don't think I would ever do it (my vision is pretty gosh darn important to me), but I do love the look of it. I think a star would be cool.

[CathyBogart]

Hehehehe, I'll be sure to post lots of pictures when I get my contacts...

I agree a 100%!! It's SO gross!! :rolleyes:

Next thing you know, she'll sue? the surgeon who did it, when she goes blind.

[EssTer]

it looks like photo trick in that photo..I really don't understand WHY should do so strange thing...looks very uncomfortable...

[ChrisH]

It seems it is true and not a photo trick. Six women and one man have had the implant according to this BBC news report.

I do think it looks pretty, but what a dangerous and crazy thing to have done! Certainly not worth risk of damage or loss of sight.
