A new procedure is allowing one New York woman to have a piece of platinum jewelry implanted in her eye at Park Avenue Laser Vision in New York City. Dr. Emil Chynn, the medical director of Park Avenue Laser Vision, claims that the procedure is relatively safe.
«It's a very thin piece of platinum that's designed for insertion on the top of the eye. It's not in the eye, so there's no risk of blindness or anything at al», Chynn told My Fox New York. «She could have a little bit of local bleeding. That could go away in a couple days or couple weeks. She could have an infection, but we'll prevent that with antibiotics».
American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) is warning consumers about the dangers of the procedure, Fox News reports.
