Wow. And soon to be a mandatory part of the uniform at Maid Cafes and the
like....
I wonder what live-action film/series will be the first to make use of them
(that's when they'll really take off).

Kudos to the manufacturer. They've created a product that is both
subtle, AND creepy.

OT alert!

These lenses remind me of the original contacts made for actors and the
like back before WW!!.........they were made of glass, regular breakable
glass, and covered the entire front of the eye ( including the whites ).
Talk about 'extra-wide'............oh, yeah, they also cut off all
oxygen to the eye and could only be worn for very short periods before
causing irreparable damage, and the pain was intense.


You REALLY had to want it back in those days............

In order to REALLY do creepy right, you have to be subtle. Then you can't
put your finger on what's weirding you out.

Hmm... I suppose it's all in who is wearing them. Either that or the photo
of the girl in the original item isn't that flattering.
