Lucy Meadmore: Like a Virgin...
Robyn Harper: Can I Write for a Living? There's Only One Way to Find…
When Lady Gaga premiered her "Bad Romance" video last year, everyone overlooked her sexy moves and barely-there outfits and, instead, was spell-bound by her big eyes. Specifically, the wacky contacts that make your pupils a size only found in anime videos or "Bambi."
Since they're illegal to sell in the U.S., fashion-forward teens have been venturing to online stores in Asia to seek them out.
Though they're only $20 a pop, opticians are afraid they may cause infections, damaged vision -- even blindness. However, Korean contact-lens company CircleLens2U told BBC's Newbeat, "They are just like any normal, soft-color contact lenses you could found [sic] on the market."
While we'd all love to have peepers like "America's Next Top Model" contestant Rachel (who was born with the look), we might be better off letting Lady Gaga keep this trend to herself, rather than risk it all just to look more innocent.
Check out how Lady Gaga rocks the doe eyes after the jump.

I've been wearing circle lenses long before the Lady Gaga video came out, and I have never had a problem with them. A lot of the concerns about infections and improper care are exactly the same as problems that can be caused my regular contacts. The only thing about circle lenses that are more dangerous is that they're similar to costume lenses and you shouldn't wear them everyday or sleep in them because they cover a part of the whites of your eyes and now just the pupil. I only wear mine when I'm getting dressed up for something special.

Of course opticians are afraid, why would anyone get boring clear contacts from them if you can get better contacts for $20 online?

Lady Caca needs some serious mental help. And, she looks trampy in all of her videos. What ever happened to leaving more for the imagination.
