Last squeak of fashion: eye apple with precious inlayers (photo)

Following the piercing and tattoos, a new hobby came to Holland: a truly fashionable person should not have a sorinka in the eye, but a jewel. The new hobby for the inlaid of the eyeball is called small pieces of special material "under the platinum" Jeweleye. According to Reuters, this is still a rarity: only 7 operations have been carried out throughout Holland.

The operation takes only 15 minutes, is carried out under local anesthesia and costs from 500 to 1000 euros. An experienced eye surgeon implants in the conjunctiva - the connecting shell of the eye - a small trinket of artificial material that imitates precious metal. The most common forms are crescent and heart.

Invented a new "decoration" at the Institute of Eye Surgery in Rotterdam. “In my opinion, this is a more subtle procedure than piercing. This is a funny and at the same time very intimate thing,” said Herrit Melles, the head of the Dutch institution of advanced eye surgery .

According to him, "we can insert a precious metall into the conjunctiva without causing any harm to the eye. So far, we have not received a single complaint, and we do not expect them in the future."

Several dozen people have already signed up for the operation to implant Jeweleye's eye, reports Reuters.
