Have you always longed to look like your favourite anime character or recreate your darkest hentai fantasies? Well, fear not, a line of extra-wide rimmed contact lenses can make your animated desires a reality. The contacts are marketed to fans of anime and the avant-garde fashion scene of Tokyo's Shibuya and Harajuku districts notorious for their outlandish styles and trends.

The extra-wide contact lenses are made by a variety of companies including Geo and Dueba, and cost in the $30-$50 per pair range. It seems they're not just cosmetic - send in your prescription and the lenses will be made to order.
