for those who don't like to adjust their glasses from slipping , here is your solution ..
Pierced eyeglasses
James Sooy and Oliver Gibson have come up with Pierced Glasses - the most minimalist eyewear since the Pince-nez glasses that clip onto your nose was invented in the 1840's.
Here's the step-by-step:
Get pierced - an internally-threaded barbell that goes through the skin above the bridge of your nose
Use a tabletop mill to cut the L-shaped metal pieces that screw onto the barbell
Attach rare earth magnets to the glasses; these hold the glasses on.
Don't get rid of the bridge pieces; they let the lenses sit on your nose and take the actual weight of the lenses.
(Pierced Eyeglasses - detail view)
For those who think that Pierced Glasses are dangerous or crazy, listen to what the creators say about other surgical alternatives to glasses: "Paying ... to have someone cut your eyes and shoot a laser in them (just so you dont have to wear glasses) seems extreme to me
"
My favorite extreme eyewear from science fiction are Molly's surgically inset glasses from William Gibson's 1984 novel Neuromancer. The glasses consisted of the lenses only, which were implanted so as to seal off her eye sockets completely. Her tearducts were rerouted to empty into her throat, as I recall.
Sfnal eyewear enthusiasts should take a look at these real-life examples:
JewelEye - Innovative Eyeball Piercing (The comments for this one were all over the map)
Virtual Retinal Displays Get All Geordi With It
The Blind May See - In The Dark
Read more about pierced eyeglasses; visit the pierced glasses page. Also, for a possible co-invention credit, see the entry for Pierced Sunglasses at Halfbakery.
the other thing besides my obscure little comic reference is that this is another case of someone being able to kick your ass a little too easily. god forbid GOD FORBID i am ever in a major fight with someone again. dude i will rip those fucking piercings right out of their face.
i am way too paranoid for soemthing liek this!
