Eyeglass nose bridge piercing, no ear pieces.
Eyeglass nose bridge piercing, no ear pieces.
I'm sure many of you have seen this image floating around online at some point.
It seems a rather neat idea, though I'd be worried about any sort of accident, or even potential fight, ripping that piercing right out.
But, what if the lenses attached with magnets instead?...
Looks cool but feels like it would be a little... flimsy? Wouldn't the lenses being attached like that exert quite a significant amount of leverage on a single fixed point? Feels like they would bob as you move wouldn't they?
I thought about that a bit later on myself. Like, if you just look down, wouldn't gravity just do its thing and pull the glasses away from your face?
But that also made me think, where the nose pads are, you could also have piercings on the sides of the nose and matching pins in the nose pads to much better hold them in place.
I dunno, seems a nifty novelty idea for people into piercings (not for me though), but also seems it could have been designed a bit better than that too.
How do you clean it?
Good question, I don't have any piercings to even know 🤷♂️
Why not make the lenses small enough to just fit on your eyeball?
Because the same people who would hurt themselves accidentally ripping out their nose bridge piercings would forget to take out their fit-to-eyeball lenses absolutely every day before going to sleep.
(it's me, i'm people)
Because having continuous infections on the top of the bridge of your nose is way more fun.
I already have that, looking to have my lenses like not rubbing against my eyebrows..
Because then you couldn't look nearly as cyberpunk
I want silver ones like Molly Millions.
Why would you want the lenses touching your eyeball? I would imagine that’d be very uncomfortable, not to mention messy. I’d be cleaning my glasses every time my eyes changed direction. 🤣 😅 🥸😏
You do realize that Satan was referring to contact lenses right?
I think this would be painful over time and probably make that skin saggy, as it stretches it out over time.
I have a magnet implant in my hand and it's uncomfortable to have something as small as a screw hanging on it.

Be careful with hanging stuff from your magnet implant: the pressure on your skin isn't necessarily great but it's constant and unrelenting, and you could cause necrosis of your skin the magnet pinches in as little as one hour. That's mostly the reason why I never pursued magnet implants to attach things to my body (and also because I want to retain the ability to get an MRI done)
Wh... Why do you have a magnet implant in your hand? If you don't mind me asking. If you do mind, I didn't ask.

Not the OP, but I too have implants all over my body - mostly in my hands also but not only. They're RFID and NFC transponders and they let me open doors, start my car (when I care to drive it, which isn't often), pay for things with contactless payment, log into computers, authenticate myself with my banking app...
I don't think I've used a key in the last 5 years, and a payment card in the last 3 months.
Why not? How often can you gain another sense?
I'm mostly forgotten it's there. Every now and then I feel a microwave, or high amperage power cable.
It makes them more attractive, duh.
Not suggesting the magnets be implanted, just mounted onto the ends of the nose bridge piercing, easy enough to remove..
I was wondering why there's nose pads; but looking closer I think there's a pin sticking out of each lense that gets inserted into the implanted nose bridge making a hinge of sorts. (instead of a screw) The lenses are held firmly in two axis; but can rotate up/down to rest on the nose pads, while being removable.
I'd be worried about bumping/catching them on anything and ripping that piercing/implant out too, but I don't think magnets would be strong enough to stop them moving around with any sort of g-forces.
As someone who sleeps face down quite a bit, I'd never try this. It would definitely drive me nuts just trying sleep with that bridge in, plus it would get snagged on bedding/clothes/towels/etc.
Oh no, to me this is only a hypothetical idea. I'd never sleep with such a piercing thingy either.
But you do get the almost neat idea of daily wear right?
Hell I dunno..
All the reasons listed here aside, for this eyeglass apparatus pierced through the bridge of the nose.
Tell me that you can romantically kiss your significant other with this trailer hitch looking apparatus between their eyes.
Can't wait to grab my screwdriver and unbolt my glasses from my face before I shower.
Didn't I already say that's a bad idea, and use magnets instead?
This is how you rip a pillowcase
Also, this thing doesn't rip my pillow case, and I sleep while wearing it (the spiked watch band).
Magnets detach fairly easily though.
Yeah idk man. I don't think this is it...
And not really practical, tbh. Anytime you move your eyebrows or change your expression, the lenses would move, changing the focus of your vision.
That's no different from me with spring loaded earpieces. If anything, that would keep the glasses more fixed, considering the nose pieces holding it steady.
Looks like a terrible idea. Just get regular glasses or eye contacts.
@over_clox@vlemmy.net is this you?
Ok, off-topic, kinda, but I just remembered that I saw a Google Glass on the wild. I don’t if it was THE Google Glass, but I found very neat. It was a guy that seemed to be paralyzed from the neck down. His chair was controlled by small movement he made with his head. There was a thing that looked like a straw going near his mouth and a smartphone attached to the chair. I wanted to ask what he was seeing through the Glass, but I didn’t.
