  • Question
    When I put the teaspoon on my eyes, should they be open or closed?

    Keep your eyes closed. You don't want to accidentally touch a freezing cold spoon to your retina, as this could potentially damage your eyesight.
  • Question
    What if I leave the spoons on for too long or too short of a time?

    Nothing will happen if you leave the spoons on too long, but if it's too short, the tightening might not work completely.

    Contact lenses do not enlarge your eyes. Circle lenses are a little bit larger than the colored part of your eye, and that extra space covered gives the effect of larger eyes.

    Because you are surrounded by immature people. There's nothing wrong with wearing contacts. And if you want to have anime eyes, you totally should, they are beautiful. You should never let bullies influence you. You have a personality! You have personal tastes! And that makes you a charming and interesting person! Let them be basic, and be superior. Make the bullies aware of how you feel, but be respectful when speaking to them.
