Pierced Eyeglasses

by Steve
Monday, May 22, 2006

Pierced EyeglassesJames Sooy has developed a new pair of eyeglasses that mounts into the bridge of your nose, via piercing.

Dubbed, "Pierced Glasses", they offer people who are already cool about body piercings with a practical use for their love of body art.

He's working on bringing it to the consumer market. Read an interview with Sooy.

You think pierced glasses are are too extreme? James perhaps summed it best...
"Paying ... to have someone cut your eyes and shoot a laser in them (just so you don't have to wear glasses) seems extreme to me..."

  • In a sculpture class a couple of years ago somebody did a "shindogou" (Japanese "un-useless" invention) of glasses that screw into your head, almost exactly like this. Like all shindogou it was meant as a joke.

    Now here's this. What does it say about us that minds are being bent to such purposes?

  • WHAT THE F**K !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Corrective eye surgery would be a much better option in my opinion. What are these people thinking? I have body piercings of my own, 3 to be exact, so yes I like the idea of body art, but I think this is ridiculous. Send them to the loony bin, maybe some one can aknowledge their piercing eye glasses there.

  • this is so stuped, how can you have sex with this eyeclasses on theyll only fog up and you wont see who your having sex with.

  • hey this is a novel way to make a piercing into something usefull although very prone to tearing out. obviously the glass would be easily removed for sleeping and what not and to see someone with their lense just floating would be starteling to some. i like to see things that startle me with there unrealness. i have had lasik though and would trade it for this. cool idea like those people with stretched out earlobes should put small speaker in those holes, i bet it would sound good.

  • Someone seriously thought this was a good idea?? You're kidding right?

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 7/15/2006 09:01:00 PM  


  • I think this is a really neat idea. I have 15 body piercings, and they almost always bring up conversation. Imagine what kind of converstation I could start with this...

  • i think these are awsome, i havnt had many piercings in the past (just lobes, 1 ear cartilage and an eyebrow that ive sinve taken out) but after seeing these i went out and got the bridge piercing so it would be healed by the time they are available.
    Great idea

    no YOU are 'stuped'

    you take the glasses out, duh.

  • from what i understand they are held on by magnets in the actual piercing hardware .. not screwed in or anything.

  • i have my bridge pierced, but am perfectly happy with contact lenses
    i read on a website that the lenses are attached to the barbell with magnets, so they could be easilly taken off
    pretty cool haha

  • That is really cool stuff. With the current trends towards the acceptability of facial piercings in emerging young business professionals it might actually be a viable product as well.

  • i think this is a really cool idea. not necessarily something i'd want to do myself, not being particular into piercings, but something i'd definitely be into if i did have piercings. too cool.e

  • alright, the people who find this "disgusting and 'stuped'" obviously are thinking of it in a rather ignorant pattern. Obviously these wouldn't be "screwed" into the bridge of your nose... perhaps you should use a little common sense (and far better grammar usage). Secondly, you may find this ridiculous, that's the beauty of freedom of thought and speech, but I personally find it pretty neat. I'd love to have one, except for the fact that as much as I love piercings, I don't know how I feel about getting my bridge pierced. (although it would give me a pretty neat excuse to get it done)

  • I like and want a set of eyeglasses like this but think a bit of refinement is needed IE the piercing should utilize small magnets on the ends of the bridge piercing for the glasses to be attached to the face instead of needing a screw driver to put them on and off thus minimizing the danger of having the glasses snag on something and causing injury plus making sleeping showering swimming and cleaning of the glasses easier.

  • Judging by most of the comments left, people don't seem to realize that peircings are removable and changable. You don't always have to have the glasses in. And it may not be for everybody. Not everybody likes peircings.

  • That is a genius idea! I would totally pierce the bridge of my nose just to get those glasses (I already have fourteen piercings).

    There should be a lot more people that think outside of the box.

  • So by my guess, people just post their profanity and crude comments without taking the time to research. The glasses ARE held on by magnets. So that if they get hit, or snatched, or anything else, they can come off without causing damage. And this is a far CHEAPER, SAFER, and more fun method than corrective surgery, by far. (please note when saying things like "safer", Im well aware of the risks, having well over 25 piercings myself, many of which would disgust you FAR more than this. :D )

  • thats cool as hell! i wish i had to wear glasses now! they should do this for shades!
    everyone who thinks its so "extreme" and say it's just for attention... you all are just afraid of uniqueness and difference.
    and duh... like all piercings... you can take them OUT for showers and sleeping. they're not freaking screwed to your head.
