Diamond "Stars" In My Eyes.

Illinois lawmakers are currently debating a bill that could outlaw the practice of surgically implanting jewelry in the eye.

Chicago State Representative Kevin Joyce has sponsored a proposal that will keep doctors from performing the procedure in Illinois, reports The Chicago Sun-Times.

Developed in the Netherlands in 2002, about 100 people in Europe have opted for the procedure, but the practice has taken place just a few times in the United States, according to the Sun-Times.

Proponents of the procedure, which involves placing a metal charm in the mucous membrane that covers the front of the eye, claim the practice is as safe as wearing contact lenses. But some ophthalmologists worry the implants could pose risk of irritation and infection, possibly effecting the wearer's vision.

Wearers can have the jewelry surgically removed if they later choose they no longer want eyeball jewelry.

What will they think of next?
