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.

"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! =]" 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 Koyuki ;) 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! i wrote these for you Koyuki ^^ Spoiler Close but far away My thoughts always where you are My wishes spent on meeting you I talk to you everyday Share my feelings Spill my thoughts Spend every second i can with you But yet we're separated Unable to see each other Unable to hear each other I can feel my heartbeat And somewhere i feel yours As i send my love out to you Hoping we'll finally meet an ocean apart I'm always there Right by your side Never leaving Never parting I can feel your close Always near me This feeling inside My heart calls for you I awake from my dream And face reality It's cruel, I know But it can't be helped Because you're in fact far away an ocean apart a change for the better I always thought, my life had no meaning I always thought, it wouldn't matter if I died Nothing to live for, nothing to fight for Nothing to cherish, nothing to protect But I have changed, my life has changed I have something to live for, to fight for Something to cherish, something to protect Ever since I met you Ever since I spoke these words I love you and I will always do love you have no idea what you're doing to me whenever i think about you my heart beats like crazy whenever i talk to you everything else disappears i don't really care about myself anymore i only care about you because as long as you're okay so am i when you're happy, i am when you're sad, i am too and i will try to cheer you up because i want you to be happy above all that's all i want because i love you and i need you more than i need myself the rest of my sig: Spoiler Other signatures by de-kun and tama-san: Spoiler More pics!!
