Man Pierces Glasses Permanently On Face
Sooy: LASIK Surgery, Contacts Too Expensive
POSTED: 5:36 am EST March 22, 2005
UPDATED: 10:35 am EST March 22, 2005
A man in Texas who said LASIK surgery was too expensive to correct his eye sight had the bridge of his glasses permanently pierced into his nose, according to a Local 6 News report.
James Sooy was tired of wrestling with his eyeglasses and instead of contacts decided to have a post pierced into his face for permanent lenses. IMAGES: Glasses Pierced On Face VIDEO: Permanent Glasses IMAGES: More strange images featured on Local6.com
"These, you know they are stuck to my face, with the other ones, if they were pulled, they would just come off real simple," Sooy said. "They're easier to work with and there is no safety risks involved."
Obscurities owner and professional piercer Allen Faulkner said the piercing was like any other. Sooy said the piercing fit his lifestyle. Most medical experts warn that many piercing procedures could cause permanent damage. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

I'd like to see what Optician made these for him and if he has his liability insurance payed up. After a few years this dude should have a bump the size of a golf ball on the bridge of his nose after it gets infected. There is going to be some load of skived up and scarred people in 20 years with all the piercing being done today.

If he had to do something dumb like that, why not just embed a magnet on the bridge of his nose?

Guess this jack-ass never heard of "pince-nez." "Sooy said the piercing fit his lifestyle"
When his 'lifestyle' includes piercing various odd parts of 'his' anatomy, I'm guessing that a Traditional, Gentleman's accessory wouldn't even make it onto his lavender radar screen.

Should be interesting when he goes for his cranial MRI (since the jerk is so stupid an MRI will be necessary to determine brain loss).

On a practical note, what happens if he's in a wreck?

If he had to do something dumb like that, why not just embed a magnet on the bridge of his nose?It seems obvious to me that your mind has not been irreversibly destroyed by years upon years of excessive amyl nitrate, methamphetamine and other drug usage that this bath-house boy likely has subjected himself to.
'He' seems compelled to embrace the primitivist piercing 'culture' so very popular among those lacking in the thoughtfulness that you demonstrate.

On a practical note, what happens if he's in a wreck?I work in emergency services, and about ten years ago I attended a special class on how to remove piercings from accident and trauma victims. It can be quite a concern, particularly with tongue and mouth piercings that become dislodged during an auto accident (or a bungee jump) and wind up in the lungs because they went down the trachea.
At the outset, I would of course be worried about lacerations to the immediate region as well as eye injuries from the piercing as well as the 'glasses'. Any metal parts may also serve to function as leverage against bones, including those of the nose.
All in all, it would slow his treatment in an emergency situation because rescuers would likely be unfamiliar with his particular type of piercing and may be hesitant to proceed with treatment, particularly if the region is covered with blood, at night, and they can't really tell what it is that they're looking at.
Otherwise, it would provide zero benefit to his overall health or ability to gain rapid emergency care. A resounding negative on all counts in my view.
