Lucy Luckayanko is perhaps the only New
Yorker to have an eye-stud. She spent
$3,000 on a one-minute procedure to have
a heart-shaped piece of platinum inserted
into the white of her right eyeball.
Harvard and NYU-trained Dr. Chynn
performed the procedure. Interestingly, he
has been featured here on OC before. He
made news last August as a love-crazed
doctor desperate to find his soul-mate. He
spent thousands of dollars on high-end
matchmaking services and charity donations
in exchange for dates. When nothing worked
out, he began to offer free cosmetic
procedures to anyone who would introduce
him to the girl of his dreams. Going by this,
we don’t know if Lucy has had to pay for
her treatment or got it free in exchange for
setting up Dr. Chynn on a date. In any
case, she went ahead with it and now she
looks like she has a piece of dirt stuck in her
eye forever.
It seems doctors have done this procedure
several times in Europe and Los Angeles, but
this was New York’s first. To perform it, Dr.
Chynn first injected an anesthetic into
Lucy’s eye. Then he made a tiny incision to
“try to divide a pocket in between the sclera
(the white part) and the conjunctiva (the
clear part)” of her eye. Using forceps, he
placed the 3.5mm platinum stud in a drop
of water on Lucy’s eye membrane. Since the
stud is so small, it had to be floated into
position. It was all over in a matter of
minutes and Lucy went home with her new
bejeweled eye soon after.
Madness or too much money?
