Sunday New York Times front-page headline:
What Big Eyes You Have, Dear, but Are Those Contacts Risky?
The piece spotlights circle lenses, “colored contacts — sometimes in weird shades like violet and pink — that make the eyes appear larger because they cover not just the iris, as normal lenses do, but also part of the whites.”
Exhibit A:
“I’ve noticed a lot of girls in my town have started to wear them a lot,” said Melody Vue, a 16-year-old in Morganton, N.C., who owns 22 pairs and wears them regularly. She said her friends tended to wear circle lenses for theirFacebook photos.
Melody Vue. Twenty-two pairs of circle lenses.
Perfect.
