WhitneyEyeball Jewelry Implant
June 22nd 2008 00:05
The eyeball implant, is commonly also reffered to as an eyeball piercing, although it is technically an implant. This is unlike the subdermal- and transdermal implants that I've discussed before. This particular implant has to be performed under a medical environment.
The implant is placed into the surface of the white of the eye. The procedure started in the Netherlands, and is a fully legal procedure offered by eye clinics who support the brand name- JewelEye.
The Netherlands Institute for Iovative Ocular Suergery's says:
In 2002 the Netherlands Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery developed an implant that can be implanted within the superficial, interpalpebral conjunctiva. The implant does not interfere with the ocular functions, ie the visual performance and motility. The implant is made of a specially designed material that can be molded in all kinds of desired shapes and sizes.
The implants are made of a platinum alloy and currently come in just a few shapes, to include a heart, star, Eurosign, four-leave clover, and a music note.
The procedure involved both eyes being immobilized with anesthetic drops. The layers of the eyeball where the implant will sit must then be separated by injecting liquid in-between. Thimplant is then placed in between the superficial, interpalpebral conjunctiva of the eye.
By the way if you want this procedure done, you're going to have to travel to the Netherlands, as no other country, to date, has legalized the procedure. There are actually only two clinics that will perform the procedure- Cornea Clinic and Oogzorgcentrum Driebergen.
The US is currently trying to ban the procedure from becoming legal in the states. If performed, one can get up to three years in prison. Mind you that's not the client, but the doctor.

QUOTE ME NO QUOTES!
that sends chills down my spine....what a revolting idea... goes along with the jewel in the teeth idea of years ago, Mich Jagger got a diamnond put in one of his front teeth, so it would FLASH when he smiled, however, when he got home to show his then wife, the droll and tall Texan model Jerry, she immediately said it looked like he had some food stuck on his teeth, or a hole!!
Jagger immediately went back and had it removed...
but the eye... warped..
cheers

Fog, I hope that the procedure stays banned in most countries. I don't see how the Netherlands can claim there's absolutely no adverse affects in sight or anything. There has to be something long term that thery're not seeing. I dunno... Just me

I think its neat. The things they can do nowadays is amazing. Dermals are the coolest most modern piercing.
If you're grossed out, or think its stupid, don't read about it, simple.

Secondly, the material is bio-compatible and inserted in such a way that it wouldn't interfere with eye function.
It's a safe procedure. You may not like it aesthetically, but it's safe and painless.
