If you’ve ever watched Japanese Anime, there are certain traits that the characters have which are so glaringly obvious, that they are impossible to miss. These include fair skin, straight hair, and wide eyes. You often see Japanese girls try and emulate this look, some of them succeeding quite well at it. In fact, there have been many times that I’ve taken a second look because the transformation is so complete.
Up until now, the one feature that has been hard to reproduce has been the wide eyes that the anime characters possess. This is no longer with a new series of contact lenses that are now available to consumers. These lenses are tinted, but not just that, the area of tint is greatly exaggerated, thus giving the appearance of a very large iris. The two large carriers of these contact lenses are Geo and Dueba. With proper care, these lenses will last about a year and can be used even if you are Myopic.
If you have concerns about the color running onto the eye, the literature addresses this by saying that the color layer of these contacts is actually “sandwiched” between two layers, thus ensuring that color never touches the eye. The contact lenses have also been certified by the following governing bodies: FDA, CE, ISO, KGMP, MHLW.

[...] All contacts are FDA approved and are made from theatrical grade conventional lenses. Available in prescription and non prescription form, these contacts sandwich the color between an outer and inner layer, so there is no risk of the color touching the eye itself. This same principle is what we saw with the wide eyed contacts. [...]

Nicole,
I have seen a few sites on the net that will create custom theatrical lenses such as 9mm SFX, who are US based. You will probably want to send them an email to find out details about cost and turn around time.
