EXTREME or genius? Pierced Eye glasses
James Sooy a few years ago developed a pair of eyeglasses with the help of his friend Oliver. The peculiar thing about these eyeglasses is that they are pierced into the bridge of his nose.
He came up with the idea in highschool and a few years later found a friend of his, Oliver Gilson, who had had been milling motorcycle parts for himself and asked if he could do something on the scale of the glasses; The answer was yes. Sooy said it only took a few minutes to draw out some plans, a couple hours to mill the pieces, but over a month to get the screws he needed. He also expressed there is no unwanted stretching or tearing associated with the pierced glasses. Magnets that allow the lenses to be pulled away harmlessly if they are tugged on.
