So, apparently this is very popular in Asian countries, namely Korea. They are contacts that make the iris of your eye look bigger giving the illusion of having larger eyes.

I like it. Acuvue makes a line of these type of contacts called Define but they aren't sold in the U.S. There are other companies that make them as well. I would love to try them.

What about you guys?

Here is a Japanese commercial for the Acuvue Define contacts.

Re: "Big-Eye" Contacts

I think its very neat. It doesn't change the color just the size of your iris.. kinda like babies they always have big-o-eyes especially the iris parts I think it helps you look "cuter" in a way also kinda like anime characters. I would def like to try them!

Re: "Big-Eye" Contacts

It does look cool. I already have big enough eyes and I feel like my plain 'ol contacts just make them look even bigger.

Re: "Big-Eye" Contacts

I love them! I have 3 pairs now (1 brown, 1 green and 1 grey) and I want more. I sold them at one point too. Anyway, they make my eyes look so much more interesting.

Re: "Big-Eye" Contacts

I think someone posted a link for a site selling these over in the Recs forum if anyone wants to go have a look. I think these lenses are super cute!

Re: "Big-Eye" Contacts

If you want to find these, search for "circle lens". There's a forum (soompi) with tons of pictures, but you're not allowed to ask where to buy them on that forum.

Re: "Big-Eye" Contacts

msashley where did you get yours?
do you find them uncomfortable at all?
i wear glasses so i would love to get my perscription big eye lenses but i dont know if i want to fork out the money if i cant stand them (cause i tried contacts before and they were super super uncomfortable)

Re: "Big-Eye" Contacts

I have very dry eyes, so I do have to apply eye drops half way through the day if I wear them all day long. However, I usually try to wear them for 4 hours or less, and they're comfy.

For a lot of Asian beauty supplies, skincare, etc, a lot of forums have people who kinda do CPs, but I'm pretty sure they're making a profit out of them. Anyway, I got my contacts from a guy selling them on a forum. I think it was around $40. If you are interested, you can PM me..I'm not sure if I am allowed to post the website here.

Here's a pic where you can really see the difference (SOURCE and SOURCE)

There are also some really unique ones like these with stars:

Re: "Big-Eye" Contacts

Wow that's a really cool idea, providing they aren't so big they make the wearer look like an alien. They look beautiful in all those pictures!

ya they actually look like perfect size to me.

thanks for all the info msashley! I REALLY appreciate it. i think im going to try to get an eye appointment to see if i can get them with my perscription. If that does'nt work out ill get the non perscription ones. hopefully i can get some that fit nicely. i will definitly have to show them off to everyone if i get them! they are so beautiful.

Welcome!

Yeah, some brands are much bigger than others. For the most natural, Neo Dali Browns.
