Everything about Korean lenses that enlarge your eyes.

It is immediately worth noting that contact lenses are visible in the eyes. To be specific, only their edges are noticeable, but the products themselves are not. However, to find out whether a person uses such a means of vision correction or not, you need to take a very close look.

First of all, whether the lenses will be noticeable on the eyes or not depends on the products themselves and the angle at which they are viewed. Lighting also plays a special role in this matter, since in bright light the contact correction tool becomes more visible. Of course, first of all, only those people who wear them themselves can notice lenses on a person. For an ordinary person who does not use these optical products, they will not be noticeable. Only an ophthalmologist can see them for sure.

Types of black lenses

Black lenses differ in a certain composition and diameter, which will determine the result produced by them.

The types of black lenses are:

Sizes of Korean colored lenses:

Diameter 14.0 mm - 14.2 mm - the closest to the natural size of the eyes, a natural increase for every day.

Diameter 14.5 mm - provides a “doll-eye effect”, noticeable to most people around.

Diameter 14.8 mm - 15.0 mm - anime look with very large eyes.

It’s not for nothing that in Japanese anime the hero’s experiences and character are conveyed by the size of his eyes. The size of the iris does affect a person's perception, associating large eyes with the eyes of a child.

However, when making a purchase for the first time, you should not immediately choose eye-enlarging lenses of the largest diameter; the difference may be too colossal, which will make the cute effect of “doll eyes” the effect of “alien” eyes. This applies more to colored lenses in dark shades, but it is still recommended to start with at least the average diameter of large lenses.

Do not forget that the diameters of Korean lenses differ significantly from the diameters of ordinary colored lenses from European brands. Let's take, for example, one of the most popular brands of contact lenses in the world - Freshlook, the manufacturer indicates a diameter of 14.5 mm - and this is the diameter of the entire surface of the lens, including not only the pattern, but also its transparent shell. Thus, the pattern of ordinary colored lenses for the eyes is about 13.8 mm, where, unlike lenses that enlarge the eyes, the diameter of the pattern is the diameter of the entire surface of the lens, which means that Korean colored lenses with a diameter of even 14-14.2 mm will visually enlarge your eyes. eyes!

Eye magnifying lenses originate from South Korea and since 2004 they have been popular in countries such as Japan, Taiwan and China. Large lenses are very popular mainly among teenagers and young adults, many of whom consider them a fashion accessory rather than a medical product. Although, like regular colored contact lenses for the eyes, they are intended not only for beauty, but also for vision correction (myopia).

Korean lenses not only visually enlarge your eyes, but with their help you can radically change your eye color, even if it is very dark. Colored lenses for brown eyes or black lenses for light eyes, the range is so large that you can really “lose your head” when choosing.

What are they for?

The peculiar, terrifying black eyes of a demon can be selected by a person for professional purposes, simply out of desire to stand out from others, or for medical reasons.

Black contact lenses can be chosen for the following purposes:

as a profession - used for filming, photo shoots, theatrical performances; such images are required in movies, music videos, etc.;
informal movements with an unusual look of clothes, shoes, stylish hairstyle, makeup; since nowadays tattoos, piercings are fashionable, young people choose a similar accessory - black lenses;
the appearance of a ghost, a monster – Halloween is considered an interesting holiday for young people; it is possible to transform your appearance with the help of scleral lenses;
a dark image is used to eliminate defects or for correction; for example, in the presence of a cataract or lack of an iris.

Some people actively use black sclera for carnivals and parties. However, it is not advisable to wear them daily; you can wear them no more than once every 7 days.

Soft contact lenses

They are very popular among many people. They have many advantages:

quick adaptation period as they are very comfortable to wear;
maintain eye health and provide excellent image quality;
freely pass oxygen to the eyes;
they are very thin, so they are practically not felt on the eye;
they can be worn for diseases such as astigmatism, farsightedness, myopia, etc.

So how can you tell if a person is wearing this particular type of optical product? Distinguishing it is not as difficult as it seems. The fact is that such optical products have a diameter greater than the circumference of the iris, so they have clearly defined boundaries that can be noticed.

What are they made from?

Artificial lenses are made from a hydrogel-silicone composition. Silicone itself is characterized by the highest oxygen transmission rate, which allows the cornea to “breathe.” In addition, the higher the permeability coefficient of the lenses, the more harmless they are to use.

The composition of the lenses is stable to the influence of low temperatures, and therefore wearing them in cold weather does not lead to discomfort. But, at increased temperatures or high humidity (for example, in a bathhouse, steam room), it is advisable not to insert black ones, or indeed any other shade, into the eyes, since intense separation of tear fluid occurs, which leads to instant swelling of the tissues of the organ of vision.

Inexpensive Chinese lenses are made from a polymer composition with a small addition of silicone, for this reason the degree of gas permeability is insignificant. If there is a very tight fit to the cornea, oxygen starvation is possible; if not enough, they can move out and scratch the eye.

Long-term use of scleral lenses is dangerous due to the following consequences:

formation of corneal hypoxia;
deepening of blood vessels into the sclera;
swelling of the eye shell.

The addition of hydrogel to the material during the manufacture of lenses gives them flexibility and creates normal bonding along the cornea. It is important to know that such lenses are not at all safe.

That is, although there was a high degree of gas permeability of the constituent components of the lenses, they are not completely safe. Especially when there are no medical indications for use.

How to put on and take off

The manipulation of removing decorative sclera is not much different from ordinary ones. To do this, you need:

first of all, wash your hands, wipe with a towel that does not have lint, since their presence on the fingers can damage the lens and lead to a feeling of discomfort in the eyes;
then push the lower eyelid slightly downward with your middle finger, and the index finger at that moment should be at the surface of the sclera in the center;
With a careful movement, move it down, while your thumb should grab it from the other end, gently pinch it, removing it from the eye.

Wash the hands;
remove the lens from the container, place it on your index finger, it is important that it is in the correct position, i.e. it must acquire a convex shape (if it is inverted, it is flat, and the edges themselves are bent down);
the sclera needs to be dipped in a clean solution; the one that was in the container can no longer be used;
with two fingers of the left hand (index, thumb) expand the eyelid, and with the other hand install the lens, while the eye should look up;
Use your finger to gently press it onto the surface, then blink so that it falls into place.

It is better to put on this “decoration” before applying makeup, so that the cosmetics do not get under the lens. This way you can protect yourself from irritation and swelling, and wearing the attribute will be comfortable.

It is more convenient to put on or remove black lenses while sitting, near a mirror. If the owner has a long, sharp manicure, one must be very careful not to scratch the eye.

cost - the price of excellent quality lenses will not be less than 1500 rubles, you do not need to buy material for 200-400 rubles;
elasticity – a good sclera will be elastic and soft (although this cannot be determined when purchasing online);
material – you should first read the description; high-quality ones are made only from silicone hydrogel raw materials; the cheapest ones contain a polymer, the use of which is uncomfortable and dangerous for the sensitive membrane of the eye;
color rendering - many scleras have a dull, unsaturated tone, in particular this is noted on cheap copies (for example, you can buy a pale dark gray shade instead of the required black);
size is an important element when purchasing; you should first go to an ophthalmologist to determine the parameters of the eye.

During use there will be no feeling of discomfort, pain, burning, dryness, the decoration will not put pressure on the cornea. The cost of such an order will be at least 4,000 rubles. for 1 pair, the attribute is not the cheapest.

This cost is determined from the fact that certain manipulations are performed: measuring the diameter and parameters of the organ of vision, repeated fittings, and then the necessary accessory is created.
