“To me this is just another way to advance the science of ophthalmology,” says Dr. Emil Chynn, the medical director of Park Avenue Laser Vision.
The procedure costs about $3,000. And though it may sound scary, Dr. Chynn says he believes it’s actually pretty safe.
What about you? Is jewelry implanted into your eye going a bit too far or just a cool, new trend?
