A
Mumbai doctor has combined optometry with jewelry to create lenses with
24-carat gold particles in the Shekhar Eye Research India.
Several
customers of doctor Chandrashekhar Chawan demonstrated their glittering and
spell-binding eyes in his office.
Nano
particles of 24 carat gold were added to regular contact lenses in a special
form of a paste, which made their price jump to US$15,000 (€13,162) – US$18,000
(€15,794). Each contact weighs 5 grams, as an extra layer is applied to avoid
contact between the eyes and the gold.
“This
is the latest fashion in the world – eye jewelry. You can wear the eye jewelry
and everybody will keep looking at you and they will get mesmerized in your
eyes,” Chawan told Ruptly news agency.

The
lenses were developed in collaboration with ARC Contact Lenses LLC in the US.
However, some American experts have expressed safety concerns over the lenses,
according to the Daily Mail report.
