An Indian optometrist has the blind seeing gold with diamond-encrusted, gold-plated contact lenses, the Daily Mail reports.
At $15,000 a pair, the glitzy contacts come laden with 18 diamonds embedded in yellow or white gold.
Those with simpler taste can opt for a pair in just plain gold or white gold.
Created by Chandrashekhar Chawan of the Shekhar Eye Research Center, the contacts weigh 5 grams in total and can be customized to correct any visual impairment.
The bejeweled lenses are also designed to retain water and will not stop oxygen from reaching the eye, making them comfortable to wear, Chawan said.
