* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'': The hedgehogs (Sonic, Amy, Shadow, Silver) appear to have eyes that are connected, but almost none of the other characters with some exceptions like Mighty, Ray, and Charmy.

* ComicBook/CerebusTheAardvark has no division between his eyes, this is even drawn attention to when he has to have one eye bandaged for a while.

Sometimes artists go overboard and draw eyes where the sclerae meet in the middle, with the two pupils still occupying their own sides, never crossing into the other. With this particular physiology, the character actually has "pupula duplex", or [[NightmareFuel one gigantic eyeball in their head with two pupils on it]].

* A subversion: Oggy from ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' normally does not have any conjoined eyes, but he gains a pair on a few shots.

* Manga/TensaiBakabon Has one of the oldest and most [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff famous examples in Japan]], [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Mr. Cop]]. Since that's not very distinct, he is officially referred to as Mentama Tsunagari no Omawari-san, or "Eye-joined Mr. Cop." There's probably a catchier translation.

* In [[http://awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=122815 this comic]] of ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'', VideoGame/PacMan eats several ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' characters including Sonic, leaving only their eyes. Eating Sonic leaves behind a big eye with two pupils.

* The hedgehogs (Sonic, Amy, Shadow, Silver) in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'', but none of the other characters with some exceptions like [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Mighty and Ray.]] This led to a fandom in-joke about how Sonic actually has a white ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' inside his head instead of an eyeball.
** ''VideoGame/SonicDreamsCollection'' takes this too far. [[spoiler:During the "My Roommate Sonic" segment, as you look into Sonic's eyes, the pupils move closer together until they merge into a swirling vortex that sucks you in.]]

** WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse is an interesting example. In his first two cartoons he has large googly eyes with a clear separation, but by "Steamboat Willie" the outlines disappear and the pupils become the eyes, while the rims become eyebrows. Occasionally, however, the "eyes" would move around the face, and if it's dark the whole eye-brow area lights up. As animation became more realistic, Mickey's design began to seem weird and unnatural, so he was redesigned with eyes that have pupils. To complicate the issue, in early cartoon shorts and 2013 revival Mickey's face the same colour as his sclera would be, hinting that he has conjoined eyes that are simply blend into the rest of his face. When he's [[https://youtu.be/Q4uRnxBoYP0?t=72 depicted]] with glowing eyes it becomes more explicit.
