About a year ago we wrote a piece on a disturbing new breakthrough called eyeball jewelry. The procedure invented by Dutch surgeons inserted a heart or other shape directly into the mucus membrane of the eye. (GROSS!)
Today the practice was made illegal. But you have to wonder...did you ever see anyone with "eye bling" as they are now calling it? This sounds more like an urban myth more than anything, but if you were saving up for the surgery, I guess you are out of luck.
Illinois hasn't passed the proposed law so there is nothing illegal about the practice.
Anybody who wants the jewelry can fly to the Netherlands and have it done there, where it is legal.
Come on, we do interocular lens implants for cataract repairs (far, far more invasive) every day. There is justs no basis for this trivial matter to be considered by any legislature (or, this BLOG - exactly HOW is this "RealTechNews"?
