Body piercing and tattoos make way. The latest fashion trend to hit the Netherlands is eyeball jewelry.

Dutch eye surgeons have implanted tiny pieces of jewelry called ?JewelEye? in the mucous membrane of the eyes of six women and one man in cosmetic surgery pioneered by an ophthalmic surgery research and development institute in Rotterdam.

The procedure involves inserting a 0.13 inch wide piece of specially developed jewelry -- the range includes a glittering half-moon or heart -- into the eye?s mucous membrane under local anaesthetic at a cost of $610 to $1,232.

?In my view it is a little more subtle than (body) piercing. It is a bit of a fun thing and a very personal thing for people,? said Gerrit Melles, director of the Netherlands Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery.

I think we talked about this 5-6 months ago. I think it's utterly ridiculous.

Insanity.don't fuck around with your eyeballs

was watching football and some girl had washington redskins contacts lol

lame :2 cents:

No thank you. I spent a lot of money having my eyes sorted out, and I would not want some shitty bit of jewelry put in them. I would prefer a gold front tooth with a massive diamond in it.

That looks so disgusting...

That's just crazy !!

her eye doesn't look healthy at all from that thing being in there

I think any doctor that does something like that should have their license taken from them.

That is fucking STUPID!!! If your blind already, then you have NOTHING to lose.

Too much vanity !!!

Can you tell us how you really feel? :1orglaugh

I say stick to colored contacts for eye decoration, not surgery. This can't possibly be good in the long term.

All fun and games until your eyes get fucked up.

That must be very annoying!!

Agreed. I know if I get something caught under my contact it bugs the shit out of me. How can that not be annoying?
