Eye Jewelry
If you thought eye tattooing was unsettling, then you will certainly cringe at this one. The procedure involves implanting a flat, platinum design, usually a star or a heart, between the sclera, the white part of your eye and the conjunctiva or clear part of your eye. The fad began in The Netherlands in 2004 and is now growing in the US, with one New York ophthalmologist charging as much as $3,000 to make you “beautiful.” Supporters claim the procedure is safe, but its detractors warn there could be risks including infection and blindness.
