"Casting dispersions" would be some kind of spell for getting rid of people. Could be quite handy. " 'Aroint thee, witch', the rump-fed runyon cries...", from the Scottish play, is an example, perhaps.

To me this eye thing sounds much more like the kind of thing rich bored 30 somethings, scared of aging (becoming boring old farts) might do, rather than rebellious teenagers. Sticking a safety pin through your ear had a bit of style as a gesture, but going to some high-priced whore of a pseudo-surgeon and getting this stuff done is a bit different.

I'd think Dick Greenhaus's notion of getting the same effect with a contact lense sounds much more likely to catch on. Rather the same way a lot of the pierced belly buttons going around aren't in fact pierced at all, I understand.
