One pretty unique trend that's hot in Asia right now is eye-widening contact lenses (also called "Iris-widening colored contact lenses"). They make the pupils of your eyes look wider than they really are. Many teenagers are wearing them there. What makes them popular seems to be the anime and manga pop media culture that's strong in Asia.
They're just like some of the special effect contact lenses that you can get except in the middle, where your pupil shows through, the color around that hole is black. This makes your pupils look larger. These cosmetic contact lenses do not change your vision at all (non corrective) but are just worn for the effect.
Maybe they'll make there way here to the US, who knows? I kind of think this could be one of those Asian things that just doesn't catch on too much anywhere else.
