Why Do Big Eye Contacts Make Your Eyes Look Bigger?

Big eye contacts, or circle lenses, feature a larger diameter than regular colored contacts and often have a dark outer ring that enhances the eye's definition. The enlargement effect is achieved through the interplay of several design elements.

🖍️ Larger Diameter: The larger diameter of big eye contacts covers a greater portion of the eye, making the iris appear bigger.

🖍️ Dark Limbal Ring: Additionally, the dark outer ring contrasts with the whites of the eyes, creating a boundary that enhances the perceived size.

What's the Difference Between Big Eye Contacts and Normal Colored Contacts?

Compared to regular colored contacts, big eye contacts prioritize the enlargement effect.

While regular colored contacts focus on changing or enhancing eye color, big eye contacts go beyond this by aiming to create a more doll-like or anime-inspired appearance. The distinct design elements, such as the larger diameter and outer ring, contribute to the unique visual impact of big eye contacts.

How to Choose the Right Large Eye Contacts?

It's not true that the larger the diameter of the lens, the better the doll-eye effect. Here are some things to consider when choosing big eye contact lenses:

1. Diameter

Contact lenses should cover your cornea completely and stretch an extra millimeter around the circumference of your cornea. For example, if your cornea is 12 millimeters, you should choose a contact lens that is about 14 millimeters.

Some laboratories also suggest ordering a contact lens with a diameter that is 3-3.5 millimeters greater than your horizontal visible iris diameter.

2. Base curve

The average base curve for soft disposable contact lenses is 8.6 millimeters, with a normal range of 8.3-9.0 millimeters.

3. Pupil Size & Eye Shape

The size of your pupils and the shape of your eye should also be considered when choosing the diameter of your contact lenses.

For example, if you have a longer color range than your black eyes, your eyes may look unbalanced and unnatural. To achieve a big eye effect, make the contact lens smaller in diameter than your black eye.

Final Words

No kawaii look is complete without the big-eye effect of colored circle lenses. The contact lenses, made popular by Japanese street fashion trendsetters as well as K-pop singers, have been making a splash abroad for a few years now.

Unlike your average colored lenses, these Korean-manufactured contacts boast a slightly larger diameter as well as a black circle along the outer rim of the contact, which highlights the size of the lens and enlarges the appearance of the iris.
