On the off chance that anime contact lenses aren't avant-garde enough for you, this should fit the bill. Dutch designer Eric Klarenbeek has created contacts that give the appearance of crying. The crystal "tears" are attached to the contact by a thin wire, and due to interest from Klarenbeek's prototype, you'll soon be able to purchase a pair for about $270.
"You can't feel the wire dangling, it doesn't affect your sight and the lens moves along gently with your eyeball, even while blinking," Klarenbeek says. "If someone tugs on the wire while you are wearing it the lens will just fall out — or at the very worst the wire might break."

alright, that's just f-in weird.
1Creepy!
2I heard about these before, and now that I see them something seems a little unsanitary about them. Seriously the thin think string hold the fake tears seems like it could harbor infections! ewww!
3Kinda neat.
4Im platinum!
5EWWWW. Emo Kid isn't very emo if they have to use these.
6It looks like snot dripping from her eyeball.
7Ew!
8Gross!
9hahah call me weird but i think these are cute hahaha but i love all types of dangles... earrings, on my rings, etc..
10Can I say that this is one of the weirdest things I have ever saw? What would be the use in this, except to maybe draw attention to yourself?? I'm not completely sold on the safety of this either.
11Wouldn't the wire being in front of the eye be uncomfortable?
12What the?! I can see these being used in a photo shoot or something, but definitely not daily use.
13It just looks very very wrong.
14This makes me want to ralph. Blech.
15Normally I'm all for over-the-top wacky things, but this is just f!@#$ stupid. It doesn't even look like tears- it looks like weird alien eye mucus. Disgusting. This is even dumber than those Color-On eyeshadow things!
16What if you turn your head around really fast, then your "tears" would fly off and land back on your cheek?? The concept is great for Halloween, but that's it.
17Blech.
18heLLLL no. so not goood for u!
19Stupid. Really stupid.
20I would think that those would be crazy annoying.
"Eye mucus" made me laugh out loud!
21I just have never understood *wanting* to look sad. It's not chic or hip, it just strikes me as wanting to draw extra, not necessarily positive, attention to one's self. That said, these would be great for a sad-clown Halloween costume, or something of that nature!
22Why?
23What is the point of this?!
24Wow...stupid!
25ohgodwhy.
26it just looks bad. like little globs of goop hanging from one's eye.
I don't think this is for me. But Eye Mucus made em laugh too. I am grossed out and fascinated all at the sametime.
27Gah. I realllllly hate things being in my eyes (thus no contacts), but to have something swinging from something stuck in your eye? Even worse. This is horrifying...
28UGLY & UNATTRACTIVE!
29I agree with the others... what's the point of this? For something so pointless, this is waaaayyyy expensive.
30why wouldn't you just attach a lash extension/false eyelash to the bottom lashes with the thin wire and crystals? as a lens wearer I can say it's a bad idea...
31that looks so uncomfortable,
32y used contacts everyday, and
this just looks plain wrong.
EWW
33I just think we're getting stupidier (yes, that's my word) as the days go by. Some people have too much time on their hands. I think I'll go knit.
34I can't imagine they'd be too comfortable!
35Yuck.
36Who would be retarded enough to wear these? LOL
37i hate things in or near my eyes. but besides that i still wouldnt wear them
38Sorry if my quickly approaching middle age is showing, but, that's just really beyond repugnant. :...(
39You wouldn't be too "emo" if you had to wear fake tears that
40look like slobber or something coming from their eyes.
Also, I wouldn't want to look sad if I wasn't unless it were
for Halloween or something.
And tears don't dangle from your freaking eyeball,
or sweep across your cheek, or blow away when the wind blows.
I think it's a pretty stupid, tbh.
That's pretty gross
41Dude 4 real??
42absolutely ridiculous.
43Beyond ridiclous. It looks like snot dangling out of her eye...eww.
44That's probably the stupidest thing I've seen in a really long time
45Ridiculous.
46
47wtf.... i have myopia and i wear contacts (transparents) and i think that would be pretty uncomfortable...:S
48OMG. Normally I'm all for new things but this freaks me the ____ out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
49this is one of the dumbest things.. and biggest waste of money i have seen in a long time.... why? it doesn't even look like she's crying.. especially since the "tear" stays in the same location....
