Anime Contact Lenses

What about photoshop?  Girls can tell right!?

Lol. Sadly, I've learnt from my degree, that no, no one can tell. Photoshop is the end of seeing is believing.

And geez I just remembered, all of you guys have to see this, its the circle lenses that make a huge difference:

The guy who writes this blog is cute, but god he is such a cam whore.

How are these for the eyes though?  I'd assume that you'd not wear them for long >_>

[that_guy]

Yeah I wouldn't wear them on a long term basis. Apparently since they are larger they restrict oxygen to the eye more than normal contact lenses. They should be fine for occasional wear, like for cosplay etc. Are you interested in getting some?

[Roa]

They seem kinda fun but is it safe + I can't see anything without my glasses + I haven't worn contacts before lol.

Lol that was spam-like, that site.

The general consensus seems to be 'fine if not for long-term wear'. It also depends on your eyes. Some people have finicky eyes that get dry easily, and those can't wear normal contacts anyway.

In any case, there've been some scare stories about dye leaking through and stuff, so yeah...if you're worried, I'd say something like once a week is fine. Personally I'm too lazy to wear my contacts when I have 8am lectures. T_T Normal OR coloured ones.

And Kai, lol. Do you have astigmatism? If not, or if it isn't too high (<1.0), there ARE contacts with degree on them. If you want to be safe and not buy from China since you have moolah anyway, Freshlook etc sell coloured dailies, I think. Your optometrist will be able to consult you about those, and also about general contact wear.
