Did Grimes Actually Remove A Portion Of Her Eye?

In an Instagram post related to her forthcoming Adidas by Stella McCartney campaign, Canadian singer Grimes outlined an unorthodox and potentially satirical training regimen. Amidst a handful of typically bizarre routines from the mercurial art-pop star, there was a truly baffling inclusion: having a portion of her eye removed.

Why, one may reasonably ask, would she have this done? According to Grimes, it was actually a means of curing seasonal depression.

“I have also eliminated all blue light from my vision,” the singer explained. “Through an experimental surgery that removes the top film of my eyeball and replaces it with an orange ultra-flex polymer that my friend and I made in the lab this past winter as a means to cure seasonal depression.”

Whether this atypical – to say the least – method actually works or even exists we may never know. Elsewhere in the post, Grimes also mentioned other, moderately-less strange routines: maintaining optimum cellular health, engaging 20-25 minute screaming session while slow boiling honey tea, and spending time in sensory deprivation tanks to help her “astro-glide” to the past, present, and future.

Business Insider also notes that this intense breakdown could be satire, to some extent. Certainly, if this was an attempt to generate attention for her Adidas by Stella McCartney campaign and forthcoming album: Mission accomplished.

Grimes is currently developing “Miss Anthropocene,” a concept album about human extinction and her fifth album overall. It does not currently have a release date. She also made headlines when it was recently revealed that she was dating tech billionaire, Elon Musk.
