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

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!

**Tankjan** · 08-11-2008, 10:30 AM

lol, aca, she can wear contacts even if her sight is perfect, just for fun [or to make you happy =p]

Personally, I don't like it. That girl looks like plastic doll, but well, I guess it's all about likes and dislikes.

Spoiler omg! O: didn't expect that! My claimed characters ^^ Spoiler Some of the things I've written: http://www.animea.net/forums/f50/som...w-s-emo-17252/ Place comments for those things here: http://www.animea.net/forums/f51/som...critics-17253/ AnimeA's family tree (if something's wrong pm me) http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/i...m/stamboom.jpg It looks so much better now =D My personality tests (7 and probably still more to come o.o) Spoiler "You're black! Your deep and mysterious, the perfect mix!" "Blue You are calm and controlled. You are also very sweet and get along with others well. Sometimes others do not understand why you are so nice and think you have a hidden agenda. If you do...thats to bad, but if you don't you have nothing to worry about! =]" Which Final Fantasy Character Are You? twilight test: "You are Edward! You are extremely good-looking and loving with excellent taste in music. Apparently your hobbies include music, fastness, and Bella. ^.~" seems she was right about me >.> but i would replace the Bella hobby with Rachy ;) o.o vampire test: You're a vampire bat. Aww... who's the cutest-wutest vampire in the world? You are! Normal vampires tend to be cranky and mean, but you're a sweet, sensitive little thing. You don't want to live in a drafty old castle; you'd rather hang out somewhere tropical with all of your friends. When you get hungry, instead of biting big holes in someone's neck, you make two teeny holes in their finger and lap up the blood with your tongue. If you could just shake that unfortunate habit of feeding on people while they're sleeping, you'd probably be the most popular pet on the planet -- you're fuzzy, you fit in a handbag, and you fly!
