Eye Jewelry

If you look at the original B&W photos of this on Klarenbeek's website, you can see that they are extra large contacts that cover much more than the retina. They extend down slightly below the lower eyelid, and the jewely pendant is fastened on just above the bottom eyelid. It would very easy to get used to having the obstruction there when you blink, once you got used to wearing X-size contacts. I don't see why someone in the haute-coutre world (jet set, modeling, Hollywood, etc.) wouldn't want to try this. Wouldn't give squat for it's survival on a windy day outdoors, though.

that wire that dangles from the eyeball is a great vector for infection. Go for it, kids--here come the super bacteria!!!

Erk...speaking as a contact lense wearer, I would've thought something like this would be extremely uncomfortable.

Not to mention that I'm a little surprised that a soft lense would withstand having a piece of wire (with additional decorative bits) attached. And a quick comparison with the B&W pics that Stork is referring to with my own lenses, these lenses look like standard soft lenses. Not oversized at all!

How totally gross.

I am some confused about this eye jewelry... When the Woman lies on her back, wouldn't the dangling things fall to the side? The eye jewelry would, too, no? Rrrraoul

I guess contact lenses themselves also qualify as "eye jewelry"-- not the transparent ones (they only help you see better), but all the ones that change the color of the eye or make it look like a tiger eye or a spiral or whatever.

These dangling thingies look very unpleasant to me, but then, so do tattoos, piercings, scarification, tongue splitting, breast implants, botox injections, and all those other body modifications that are all the rage these days.

But none of those things force you to take the risk of having your eye put out by a wire when someone bumps into you. No, not even the piercings.....

So I gotta say this is worse. Boy, nothing is so stupid that some grant-hungry art/fashion fag won't try it, huh?

I fail to see the problem with it as art, but it would be daft as fashion, in terms of danger to vision.

Silly me. And here I thought that jewelry was supposed to make a person appear more attractive.

Ewwww...

:roll:

If that were the case we wouldn't have piercings.

Ouch! My eyes are tearing just hearing about this!

How the heck can this be considered visually appealing? This is incredibly dangerous, scary and not even attractive! Ugh!

that eye candy looks pretty cool I think I'm going to get some when they come out 😊

oh boy... this one is... interesting...

I would say in all honesty, that this is either totally fake... or is not really what it says it is... lol

I wear contacts, and if anything is even slightly odd/off about them, they scratch and burn like hell...
Attaching anything to them like this, would only make them very very uncomfortable, since it would make the lens drift down your eye from gravity, or would get in the way of your blinking... >_>
