Girls Get the Anime Look with Extra-Wide Contact Lenses Posted August 9th, 2008 by Steve Levenstein

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!"

The 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 blog!

remember that dude from Limp Biskit?........

he had those contacts that made his eyes solid black.....it looked like he just had empty eye sockets........totally weird........

unfortunately....I figure that once these things get out on the market.......

we're gonna be seeing little "doll faced" freaky lookin kids all over the place.........

there will no doubt be a school issue or two over these as well....."but mine are prescription.....ask my mom..."

uh huh......see it comin.........

Ted, you're talking about Wes Borland, who is one of the best guitarists of my generation.

I'm ordering my anime eyes as we speak.
