Wide-eyed and not-so-innocent?
Anyone who's seen Japanese comics, cartoon videos, anime art or - Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" video - will instantly be struck by the uncommon 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.

This lens site has a great collection of crazy contact lenses for you to check out, including some anime contact lenses in their Anime and Fantasy section. As well, the site featuring Big Circle contact lenses sells a few other beauty aids including a painful-sounding "nose clipper" that demands a posting of its own - keep a big, watery, shiny eye on this blog!

Gah
They're called circle lenses people, and they're very popular in the Korean culture. Especially 'ulzzang' chicks. (Basically it means 'best face')
Look up pictures of the ulzzang culture. You'll see these contacts in a lot of their pictures.

seriously?
I personally think they're cute...just like average color contacts. It's just a change of pace...playing around. I'm sure some of these girls wish they looked like someone else, but no more than the Barbie look-alikes you get in the States. One persons hot breast in another's nasty bag of silicone. To call any race of girls ugly is just a way of lashing out, probably because you don't find yourself too worthwhile.
So please, if you don't like it, say so. Explain why, and leave it at that.

wtf
Where the fuck did all these damn teenagers and weeaboos come from.
That girl is not that hot. She would be cuter otherwise, but she's not at all remarkable. She looks like every other scene kid out there, but she just happens to be Japanese.
Some of you guys sound like virgins and will likely stay that way. I mean, are your balls that blue that you claim a girl is so fucking hot because she looks like she's on heroin and her picture is 'shopped to the point of oblivion? And she also doesn't even have an upper lip.
I swear, I think half of the interwebs is retarded.

Tell me about it!
I actually think they give an interesting twist to her... but people are too narrow minded! I'd buy those in a second.

the problem is more of the
the problem is more of the fact that they are trying to look like children to be 'hot'. It's creepy and gross. I think it's somthing a child-molestar would like......
besides it doesn't look natural or normal.

pointless
It doesn't look like it would have much of an affect. Most people, like myself, have dark rings around thier eyes anyway.
