Anyone seen these new contacts that extend the size of the pupil by 10%?

You'll see them in the Samsung DMB and recent SM7 commercials.

Couldn't find any images off the internet but all I got to say is - sexy!

My students wear coloured contacts, and it freaks me out. Makes them look like aliens!

Anime Eyes

Skin like porcelain. Eyes like Astroboy. The latest trend for Japanese schoolgirls is colored contacts - not green or blue ones that ape gaijin eyes, but inky black lenses that make them look like they have gigantic monochromatic pupils. Thanks to a steady diet of manga and anime, Tokyo teens have come to admire the outsize peepers on hand-drawn heroines. "The bigger the character's eyes, the cuter they look," says 15-year-old Yumi Koba. And now, thanks to Share Generate's Nadesicco Black, emulating Sailor Moon is no longer a dream. Because the lenses are nonprescription, schoolgirls can even order them - like everything else - via cell phone.

The dark portion is larger than the iris, so the eye looks bigger.

Nice post.

All I gotta say is - nice!

Are some kindergarten wearing these inky contact lenses? Maybe as some have thier own cell phones already. My students think they are little adults. I noticed that some kids' pupils are huge where the whole iris is the black pupil. Could be just a genetic thing where they have black eyes instead of blue, brown, or green eyes. One kid has one eyeball that is not white, but is blackish/grey and does have very black eyes. That probably is natural for him.

I personally think this is going to grow into a really important market in the long run.

Especially since all kidns of accesories are already swamped, the eye, and the contactlens, might have a bright future ahead.

These and the kids who play video games then go and ventilate their classmates are suffering the same illness.

Big, black eyes may be "cute" in a cartoon, but on a human, it's freakish.

Reality. Relative.

I'm a dude and I used to wear colored contacts. Not the cosmetic ones. My contacts where prescription. I went with a "gray" color and it looked pretty sweet.

Those colored contacts are just too expensive so I went back to the regular ones.

Kumiko fully zombified.

It does make them look kind of emotionally thwarted... when it's totally black you can't even tell if they're looking at you (one of the reasons I find people wearing shades unsettling).

Could be very handy for extacy users.
