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?...

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.

Not suggesting the magnets be implanted, just mounted onto the ends of the nose bridge piercing, easy enough to remove..

Why not make the lenses small enough to just fit on your eyeball?

Because then you have to touch your eyeball and that’s gross

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.

I cannot rule out that that would be me.

Oof, I saw that one. How does that even happen, without eye infection no less?!

Because then you couldn't look nearly as cyberpunk
