Manhattan ophthalmologist Emil William Chynn says he's performed approximately 20,000 corrective eye procedures. On Nov. 6, Chynn did something different: he implanted a piece of platinum jewelry beneath the surface of a patient's eye.
To implant the jewelry, Chynn uses tiny scissors to make an incision in the clear surface of the eye of her patient, then slid the tiny platinum piece between the clear surface layer and white tissue below. Some of the connective material between the two layers is put on either side of the jewelry, to keep it from moving and damaging any part of her eye.
The jewelry plant he performed may actually be the first non-momentary procedure of its kind performed in the United States. The only other instance of implanted eye-jewelry in the U.S. that Chynn is aware of was performed by a close friend of his in Los Angeles around 10 years ago.
However, The American Academy of Ophthalmology does not yet recommend these types of surgeries and implants.
"The American Academy of Ophthalmology has not identified sufficient evidence to support the safety or therapeutic value of this procedure," the academy said in a statement, warning of complications including blindness from ocular infection or bleeding, bleeding beneath the conjunctiva, perforation of the eye and conjunctivitis.
