Diamond eyes are watching you...
Over the years, we’ve seen any number of unusual uses for, and products comprised of, precious gemstones and metals. Most recently in this blog, our fashion editor, Hannah Connorton, told us about an Italian company that has created karat-gold tattoos....

I, personally, am a lifelong wearer of glasses, and now contacts. (I got my first pair of glasses in the first grade. They had one of the Peanuts characters on them, presumably to make me feel better about being the first kid in school with glasses. It did not work.) So, the main question that came to mind when I read about these contact lenses was, how comfortable can they be?
According to what the lenses’ creator Chandrashekhar Chawan told Today, he uses Boston Scleral lenses to create the diamond-studded contacts. These lenses are apparently prescribed for people with severe eye diseases, and one eye doctor interviewed described them as “cumbersome” and “bulky” contacts that have to be filled with saline solution before they are inserted into the eye.
So, the answer to my question seems to be: not very.
From what I can tell in the photos posted online, the diamonds and gold are set in a circle around the iris, much in the same way the color to applied to colored contact lenses that turn brown eyes to blue or green.
Chawan told Today that he was inspired to creating the twinkling eye aids after his wife had diamonds planted into her teeth during a visit to the dentist’s office.
No word on if she’ll be the first to sport her husband’s diamond-studded contact creation but, if she is, one can only assume he’ll cut her a break on the lenses’ $15,000 price tag.
