What Are Circle Lenses? What Do Circle Lenses Do?

Circle lenses, also called large pupil or big eye contact lenses, are a type of cosmetic color contact lenses. These lenses make the iris look larger by extending its appearance onto the white part of the eye (sclera) through a dark-tinted area. This creates the effect of bigger and wider eyes, similar to the look of dolls' eyes.

Initially trendy in Japan, South Korea, and China, circle lenses have gained popularity in Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe. They are designed to alter the eye's appearance for a more captivating and doll-like aesthetic.

Circle Lenses vs Regular Colored Contact Lenses

The contact lenses we are talking about here are colored contacts, also known as decorative, costume, or cosmetic contact lenses. These lenses come in various colors and designs, including natural tones, whiteout styles, special effects, and more!

1. Circle Lenses Make the Eyes Look Bigger

Circle contact lenses come in various diameters - like 14.0mm, 14.2mm, 14.4mm, and 14.5mm, which turn out to be slightly larger than regular color contact lenses. If you want bigger and bolder-looking eyes, go for circle lenses.

2. Circle Lenses Make the Eyes Look Younger as If One Is in Their Teens

Circle lenses help to enhance the limbal ring of the eyes. A limbal ring is the dark circle that separates the iris from the sclera in the eye. It was obvious when you were before 20 and faded as you age. It is believed to be an indicator of youth, vitality, and beauty.

On the other hand, normal colored contact lenses do not have a black rim and put more emphasis on natural-looking effects.

Are Circle Lenses Safe?

Circle eye contacts, like other contact lenses, are safe when prescribed by an eye care professional and used correctly.

In some countries, including the United States, a valid prescription is required to purchase large circle lenses. Even those with perfect vision who want color contacts for cosmetic reasons need a "Plano" prescription, which means zero vision correction.

Plus, it's important to have decorative soft contact lenses properly fitted. This can help maintain vision and eye health.
