Diamond Contact Lenses

From colorful bracelets and watches that you can wear around your finger, down to fake tattoos that definitely look real, accessorizing has really come a long way. Las Vegas diamond jewelry has now gotten more glamorous, and even dainty pieces have become glitzy enough to wear during red carpet events. But do you know that you can also wear diamonds to your eyes? That’s right. Now, you can get your hands on a pair of diamond contact lenses for a cool cost of $15,000. 

Each pair of these gold-plated, custom-made contact lenses feature 18 tiny diamonds, but incredibly brilliant, diamonds. This fresh and alluring jewelry line is the product of Shekhar Eye Research. Their team created this new trend to satisfy those who cannot be content with simply boasting diamonds and bling on their skin. 

The creator, Chandrashekhar Chawan, tried to create gold-dusted contact lenses, but they didn’t give him that specific sparkle effect he wanted. He then found inspiration from cosmetic dentistry. His wife actually has diamonds plated on her teeth, which helped him realize that people loved to adorn their bodies with jewels.

Chawan claims that his creation will soon be a hit, but some people disagree. Certain critics on the internet said diamond contact lenses are cringy and freakishly ugly. Some even said it looked demonic. However, there are some people who say it’s not so far from eye tattoos that color out the white parts of our eyes - a trend that eventually caught on. Christian Dior also had designer lenses, and it was definitely a hit. This only shows that certain people are willing to spend to stand out. 

Chawan’s diamond creation uses the Chandra Boston Scleral lenses, which doctors generally used in treating eye illnesses. He uses these lenses to gold the diamonds and jewelry parts of the lenses in such a way that they don’t touch the corneas. He established that the method is safe, but of course, some experts are quick to warn against the use of medical lenses for aesthetics. But Chawan sees no harm in the products and would like to remind people that his sparkly lenses are a luxury pair. They are not a necessity but are definitely for people who want to be unique and want to show off.
