Was reading BBC news this morning and found this. What do you think. I couldn't handle anything in my eyes so this is a defo no no for me..
Interested to see what it'd look like though...

I was reading bou it in good old Metro looks pretty crazy, like deepsoulsheep said in the previous post, wouldn't be able to handle anythig in my eye, and for £300 odd quid for some doctor to shove a little heart thing in me eye don't sound too tempting.
Wonder what they'll come up with next

I reckon its alright- in a way its no weirder than putting a contact lense in as long as it doesn't have any long-term effects.
one phrase does spring to mind though:
"beauty is in the eye of the beholder"...
personally it looks kinda crap to me!

I made me cringe reading the story...
I dont like things in my eye.
What i would like to know is how did they come up with the idea of sticking a stud into someone's eye?

I don't think it's for me. It's pretty expensinve..Call me old fashioned but I'm sort of against having foreign objects put into my eyes. You never know though. Minds change.

It isnt really the same as having contact lenses. Contacts are to improve vision, this stud thing could potentially damage it. Also contacts are taken out every night, this seems permanent.
What if the stud migrates into your eye?? Thats entirely possible, piercings migrate lots, this thing could leave you blind.
I thought when they decided to put jewellery in teeth they'd gone too far but this is waaay too extreme and completely pointless. In that pic it looks horrible! Bad Dutch scientists!!

erm, probably the same way they came up with the idea of sticking studs in all the other places they stick 'em.
and they stick 'em in some odd places already. But you knew that...

The eye is/was probably the only bodypart left that hasn't been pierced already (apart from that mad thing that Marilyn Manson has going on, but that's more of an 'eye modification') .
... I honestly can't think of any bodypart now that hasn't been.....?

A mate of mine had the webbing between her little finger and the one next to it. It didn't really look that great and grew out within three weeks so was a waste of £30 really!

Erm... EW!
My eyes are bad enough (vision wise) I don't need something going in it and screwing them even more! Especially since I could go blind from retinal detatchment if something hits my eye. (either one of them) So, that thing definately wouldn't be good for me. And what if it gets infected, because you play with it too much as people tend to do with new piercings?? Ew!!! I think not.

As part of my nurse training I spent a few months working on an ophthalmology (eye) ward and one of the major things I came away with was NEVER EVER put anything in your eyes that doesn’t need to be there. In such a short time the number of people who came in with things stuck in their eyes was amazing the most common was those color contacts made me throw mine away I can tell you. All I can saw is if you want to put something in you eye you should sign a form saying if I loose my sight its my fault for putting this stupid thing in hear in the first place.
And to all those who are about to shout at me over the contact thing if you really must have the color thing go to a repeatable company who make prescription contacts like Boots or Speck Savers or something that way you are guaranteed quality products

coleman- u havent been lookin hard enough. LOL. seen sumone with the web between their thumb and 1st finger done.

Hmm,
intewesting,
Just read an article on this in the new scientist magazine, and the creator said that he tried to get the "CE mark" for his invention, this is a form of accreditation in the EU.
He was unable to get it however, not because it was refused, but because this does not count as a medical device. IE. it falls into the same catagory as peircings.
Apparently platinum clips have been used previously to hold replacement lenses in place over the eye, and devices exist which relieve presure on the interior of the eye which are implanted in almost exactly the same way.
So this could be seen as simply an addaptation of existing technology, albeit a nasty one.
Has ther been any feed back from the volunteers who had the procedure performed? What does it feel like, is it like having contacts in? How thick is the piece of platinum?
My own opinion is still: Urrr!
with a side order of :Yuck!
