      I am a glasses wearing girl myself, but surprisingly a lot of people like glasses. There are people who wear them without needing perscription, and research has stated that people find people with glasses more trustworthy. Give them a chance, if you find the right glasses they can be very nice (though you cannot lie down on your side when wearing them).

    Many Japanese girls suffer from that kind of obsession. I, too, used to feel less confident without circle lenses and it was so hard to live without them.
    I'm not saying circle lenses are bad, but not all girls wear them just because they enlarge the eyes. They CANT live without them. It was when my boyfriend told me "I prefer you without lenses." that I could stop wearing them. All I need was love and confidence.
    I love you both wearing circle lenses or not.

      Agreed. But also some doctors don't know wtf they're talking about. I was given a pair of contacts and he gave me the wrong pairs. I'm now blind because he gave me the wrong ones. So really it's up to you (speaking in general) to make the decision.

    • @acusemplectic288
      @acusemplectic288 7 ปีที่แล้ว +100

      also never wear contacts if you can feel them in your eyes. if you feel them, remove them immidiately.
      and even if you order themm from costume shop, make sure they provide enough oxygen to eyes and they are the correct size, i mean, all of the numbers have to be correct. dont wear slightly more curved lenses because they dont have your size EVEN IF THE PERSON THAT SELLS THEM TELLS YOU IT'S OKAY. it's not.
      if you wear them right, they are awesome. my sight stopped worsening when i started wearing lenses (i know it gets worse if i wear glasses because i tried it again later). it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. i was so happy i cried when i first put them in. apart from cleaning and putting in and out, it's basically like having your sight back. i've been wearing them for 8 years. the only problem i had was my eyes getting easily irritated or even inflamed in the first year, but then i learned that it's because they dont let enough oxygen though to the eye and changed to better ones and it's been awesome ever since.

    i currently wear eye-enlarging contact lenses, and have been since July of 2017. they’re the same color of my natural eyes, but i always thought that because they made my eyes pop more, they made me prettier and a little different from other girls. hearing you talk about how lenses were your mask, that hit me so hard. i completely try and mask my insecurities by using lenses and changing who i naturally am. i hope i’ll be brave enough to stop wearing them soon like you❤️

  • @emyemyemyyyy
    @emyemyemyyyy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +277

    Yes, they have to be fit to your eyes. Buying lenses online is very dangerous, part of an eye test is checking the diameter to be sure you would be okay with different brands (and different widths). It isn't about your eyes breathing, it's about squeezing your actual eyeball and cutting off circulation

  • @Rose_from_UK

    The three most common dangers of overuse of lenses *particularly* circle lenses are 1. Corneal ulcers, 2. Eye infections, 3. blood vessel overgrowth in eye (corneal neovascularization which is non reversible). If you haven't had a contact lens check in a while, you should get one to check for this issue. Based on your verbal history, I'd be very surprised (but delighted) to hear you don't have overgrowth. It's important to have this monitored if you do have it, as it can become quite problematic and dangerous. I'm stopping myself going into more detail & boring everyone, but hopefully this (really brief and not inclusive) list will warn people of the importance of regular contact lens checks (not the same as regular eye appointments) when using contact lenses. This is why it is illegal to supply lenses online in a lot of countries, but they cannot stop you ordering them from abroad.

    Aww, I love this. It's so important for you to be able to focus on the more important parts of yourself, without sacrificing other things. Personality, being comfortable in your body, and your mind are far more important than a specific makeup and eye enlarging style. I'm so glad you're able to do this and feel comfortable with it. You still look lovely, and most importantly, that's not what matters most about you anyway.

    That's crazy hearing that you use to wear enlarging contacts for 20 hours?? If you decide to wear them again I highly recommend the 1 day enlarging ones as it has a higher water concentration and more hygienic as you throw them out after one use. Usually the longest I wear contacts is 8 hours but not everday.

It's important for people to know this and even point out to those who don't realize you and other creators and models' eyes aren't naturally so huge irl (which can actually perpetuate the standards that cause people to want to continue to wear them all the time). This sort of being open helps others to feel more confident in their natural beauty instead of forcing themselves to be uncomfortable to feel beautiful for crazy standards. Being in the lolita community, I was very aware for years that circle lenses can be damaging and uncomfortable. Thank you for sharing and for being open!

    I think that we all have something that we use as a mask. I know it's taken me a very long time to feel comfortable in my own skin. I think that as you get older and wiser, you start to really value your life experiences and dear friends rather than superficial things. I know for me, having my daughter was a turning point because I look at her and only see beauty and when I talk badly about myself or put on a lot of make up, she is the first one to tell me how beautiful I am without it! Anyway, sorry for my novel. You are a beautiful, intelligent, and funny young woman and the things you say and do have much value!

    If you look at my profile picture here on youtube ( from like 3 years) you can see I had the same weird thing with contact lenses and eye makeup, it really becomes an addiction after some time and you feel like you are not yourself if you don't make yourself look like that. Once I stopped that I realized how much better I would look without that stuff and how much easier getting ready and my lifestyle in general was. It was a cute phase I guess but happily just a phase (still have the photo tho cause I'm too lazy to remove it 😂)

It's so easy to see the signs of the things that destroy us and even easier to push them aside and get on with the day ignoring the red flags. But eventually there comes a day where we're at a crossroads and we have to choose to save ourselves or continue down the destructive path and many people pick the path of destruction and when they finally DO choose to save themselves, it's often too late. I'm glad you caught things in time that you can manage your eyesight vs going blind. :]

    2, if I'm feeling discomfort remove immediately
    3, if I wear lenses for a long time (like for conventions), I give my eyes at least the next day to breathe.

      @bean0329 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Right. If you go to an optometrist, or just look at your prescription if you already wear contacts, they'll have a specific size and curvature on them. I've never bought color lenses before since I had trouble finding some for astigmatism, but the sites I checked allowed you to pick. Also, some brands may make contact lenses that are more porous, since there are prescription lenses that are like that.

Also as I looked "Having a bad day" the first time, I thought "wow, even without Makeup she looks so pretty" and mostly because of your charisma (I used google translate for this word, I'm not quite sure if I found the right one).

I stay for your videos and the content you produce. I love that you're always yourself, that you have fun, that you're always striving to be a better person. So just do you! I'll always be checking in and watching your vids no matter what style you have. I think sticking to that image when you were building up your brand paid off, it was probably the right decision at that time in your life. But we all change, our style changes as we get older and become influenced by other things. It's only natural to change and grow but you'll always be the same person 💖

    I actually didn't notice, because your eyes are so big naturally. But now that you've pointed it out, I went back to compare to a video of you from a couple of months ago and I think you look so much better now! Not to mention your eyes can finally breathe now. You made the right decision.

    as an avid circle lense lover, i completely relate to this, especially with the psychological aspect, when wearing them multiple times a week becomes your thing, you get really hung up over your eyes looking 'ugly' or 'small' when you don't wear them, it can easily turn into an addiction >.

    You're def beautiful but I think your fans watch you because your hilarious. Anyone who describes something as cute "like bacteria" is def unique and funny!
