Two inventors, James Sooy and Oliver Gibson, have created the first Pierced Glasses. By simply piercing the top of your nose, you can attach a nice hinge in your head for mounting glasses.
When the inventors were interviewed about whether the pierced glasses are crazy, they suggested, “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…” Okay…
Here is the step-by-step from Live Science
- 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.
