Anime Contact Lenses

Posted by Miss Cellania in Fashion on August 10, 2008 at 10:20 pm



Disproportionately big eyes are a hallmark of anime art and comics. Now, you too can sport the somewhat creepy big-eyed look with oversized contact lenses sold in Japan. In fact, you’ll look altogether Photoshopped! Link -Thanks, JamesM!

    The actual photos of the lenses show it to be normal sized, just anime’d out a little in color and design, and not unlike many lenses offered last year.

    Yeah, but if they’d just make eye socket enlargers and eyeball extensions they’d have it nailed Garfield style.

    There’s a chick around town– about my age– And for the longest time I thought she had some tragic disease. Her eyes didn’t quite buldge out of their sockets, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was wrong with them, and why she was wearing hideous blue contacts on top of it all.

    I saw these online about a month ago and sure enough I saw her again, and got a good close look.

    Mystery of horribly deformed eyes solved: she was Wapanese. Well, Wispanic, actually; and unless you peel your eyes wide-open like those models do? The results are distinctly virulent-looking.

    I kind of like them. They’d be a good accessory for cosplay geeks just like the vampire, cat and other lenses for costumes

    If people wear them as their daily lenses, especially if they have perfect vision that would be a little weird. But otaku are often more than a little weird

    I always thought most things to do with anime (and the people who like it) were a little weird. This doesn’t do anything to change my opinion.

    I think they’re sexy.

    Ok, I’ll admit it.

    I’d wear them (not every day though).

    Unbelievably disturbing. That’s freaky spooky crud. They make a cute girl look like an alien. And I don’t like aliens. No sir, I don’t like ‘em.

    I’d prefer no glasses or contacts. Restoring your vision is very painless - heard of eye exercises?

    What I see is a pretty girl with cool contacts. People here who say it’s creepy haven’t seen those really eye-modifying ones. :P

    These are just coloured lenses…

    I think it’s cool… Not for everyday though. Overall, it’s a cool new way of self-expression and great props for the Halloween and Cosplay conventions ;)
