CIRCLE CONTACT LENSES ?!?!

While on one of my blog travels, I stumbled upon a product called circle contacts. Being the occasional contact wearer I was immediately interested. Circle contacts, for those that are unfamiliar, are colored contacts with an expanded diameter of the iris. Basically in makes the colored part of your eye lager leaving less white. This product originated in asia and is very popular in Japan. The contacts actually give the eyes a cupie doll appearance or anime character. I must say I am intrigued with the way it looks. It's suppose to give the eyes a more youthful appearance, but it also reminds me of the way a rats eyes look. You know, all dark with very little white space. The contacts come in a variety of colors. Varying from "fashion colors" like bright greens, blues, even  pinks, to more natural colors. I must tell everyone, though these contacts are NOT FDA approved and some medical experts say that they might pose a health risk to the eye. Click here for news article. What do you think? Thumbs up or down on the circle contacts? Has anyone tried circle contacts?

  2. Ugh, I'm thinking that's kinda creepy. I don't understand the Japanese fascination with the anime/huge eyes look, so I'll take a pass.
