TITLE:Girls Get the Anime Look with Extra-Wide Contact Lenses


Wide-eyed and not-so-innocent?

Wide-eyed and not-so-innocent?

Anyone who's seen Japanese comics, cartoon videos or anime art is instantly struck by the common look of the girls - big eyes that, by making the rest of the face look small, add the cuteness and sex appeal prized by many Japanese men. Since no amount of cosmetic surgery will make actual human eyes larger, some girls are trying another way to up their cute quotient: extra-wide contact lenses!

These are no ordinary contacts - they're not only tinted, but tinted prominently in the extra-wide outer ring. The result is the appearance of a bigger, wider iris.

To quote the sales copy, "Wanna get big, watery shiny eyes without any surgery? CRAVE AND ENVY NO MORE!"

This extra-wide contact lenses are made by a variety of companies including Geo and Dueba, and cost in the $30-$50 per pair range. It seems they're not just cosmetic - send in your prescription and the lenses will be made to order.


The site featuring the lenses sells a few other beauty aids, including a painful-sounding "nose clipper" and a Crystal Colagen Breast Mask which demands a posting of its own - keep a big, watery, shiny eye on this site!

If I was never grateful for wearing eye glass, I found a reason why.

Look, I wear eye glass and contacts so I can see and read small text, not to look like my favorite underage tentacle rape victim in my favorite hentai movie. Seeing this make me wish I was blind.

One of the most horrible excuses for eye wear!

That women

Is staring into my soul

I feel defiled in new and original ways

...SHE WANTS TO EAT MAH SOULLLLLL D:



seriously, what the ****?

xD What the hellllllll? That's just stupid and creepy. :p

Shao Khan: "Your soul is MINE!!!"

For Weaboos and Japanese everywhere! =D

Nothing wrong with looking like a tentacle rape victim.

It's not so far off from wearing colored contacts. They have stylish glasses, why not stylish contacts? It should be socially acceptable to wear interesting contacts.

Though the girl in that picture looks laughably ridiculous. Her expression is so... irritatingly anime.

Very intriguing! I can't see the images, though. DD=

It's reminiscent of those women who had plastic surgery to look like Barbie. Ridiculous and pointless, yet it's what they want. Anime eyes are very beautiful in their own way, but how good can they look on the average person?

Edit:

Found them via google. It's not that bad, actually. I think they look kind of cute. Pointless, but cute!

Well this is... interesting to say the least. I know some people who are going to go crazy over seeing this. They are truly obsessed with looking like Anime characters, it's kind of creepy.

As far as I can think, I would expect Japanese people to create something like this. They cosplay everyday like it is part of their cultural tradition.

Its pretty amazing, yet bizarre.

She seems to stare into my very own soul too... O_o

Am I the only one who is majorly turned on by this?

Meh my eyes are better then that...lucky me i has Hazel.. meh eyes can change colors. besides...i dont want to look like Weegee >.>

Hmm... honestly, the eyes don't look half-real. And, looking at her felt like staring at a plastic wall.
Although I must say that it does shine a new light on bringing anime to life.

She looks more like a doll than anything else.

I mean, check out the cream that she used on her face! It makes her look... unnatural.

People in future will just be fake. Whatever happened to natural beauty?

LoL, I totally have to agree with Eternal Legend on this one...
It's kindof hard to imagine a future like that though. I mean think about it; it's like everyone is concealing their true identities and personalities behind expressionless faces, staring wide-eyed at one another, wondering what will become of them next.

I already have pretty eyes *provesit*
