Some people think these are adorable. Others shudder at a moment’s glance. Whatever the reaction, these contacts are made for anyone that wants disproportionately large manga or anime eyes. Korean manufactureres G&G and Dueba seemed to have cornered the market.
The contact lenses are available in a large variety of colours and more importantly, have a larger diameter than normal contact lenses. The effect gives the wearer the appearance of gigantic irises for that alluring cartoony look. Both cosmetic and prescription lenses are available.
At $35-40 a pair online, big eyes are much more reasonably priced than a small nose and more readily available than the Astro Boy makeover.
Doed-eye wannabes can get these contacts through Shopping Times.

File me under “shudder at a moment’s glance.” It takes some effort for a real person to move into the uncanny valley.

The only time huge eyes are attractive are when they are on baby animals. Other than that, I find them repulsive. If an alien from Andromeda came to earth and had those big eyes, I’d have to kill it.

I’ll have to reserve my judgment of whether that’s acceptable or if I should laugh in their faces for when I actually see someone wearing those.

I’m probably the only one who doesn’t find it creepy, lol. I actually thought the model wasn’t a real human. At first glance, she look like one of those porcelain dolls.

I am wearing contact lenses since 7 years, but I still have glasses, because I am sometimes just to lazy to put my lenses in.
