Gold and diamonds in your eyes?! Sounds like a trivial compliment, but this time it is not. Shekhar Eye Research in India, has created Contact Lenses made of Gold and Diamonds. The company worked with Dr. Chandrashekhar Chawan and the contact lenses were designed by Sanjay Shah.
Each of the lenses is encrusted with 18 diamonds on a gold plate, so that they can be worn by both, men and women. Weighing 5g in total, the gold plate used in the lenses will be set 6-9 mm away from the cornea, and will hold water underneath to make them more comfortable.
The diamond contacts lenses are limited to 3996 pairs and you’ll have to pay $11,000 for the yellow colored gold lens or $15,000 for the white colored diamond lens. The profits from the lenses will be used to treat a person suffering from Stevens Johnson Syndrome free of cost.
