Why are anime eyes so big?
By Shay • Mar 26th, 2008So why do anime characters often have such large eyes or corneas? They wear contacts.
At least that’s what a Thai Acuvue contact lenses advertisement suggests.


It’s a cute and pretty fun ad campaign. Throw out all your Tezuka, ’shows emotion’, and other reasons because it’s in the contacts baby. But then why must some characters wear glasses? A fashion accessory? I kid.
