* [[DoctorWho Daleks]] have a [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing-blue]] periscope in their giant-pepper-pot-of-death power armor, matching their single biological eye.

* The AlanParsonsProject's best known song, "Eye In The Sky", is a person telling his/her significant other that he/she knows the other's been cheating and is tired of pretending to be ignorant of it. The cover of the album... the Eye of Horus.

* A level in ''Zeliard'' features enemies that are just giant eyeballs, capable of rushing at you at high speed.

Of course, being long past the UncannyValley already, these examples often also involve TechnicolorEyes, HellishPupils, and RedEyesTakeWarning. Contrast TheBlank and EyelessFace.

-- '''Billy Idol''', "Eyes Without A Face"

A cyclops character is more relatable than this kind of being, since cyclopes have a recognizable facial structure, with at least a mouth. These examples are far beyond the edges of the [[UncannyValley Uncanny Continent]]. It is also interesting to note that the representations of many [[AIIsACrapshoot insane AIs]] use this trope - most likely to underscore their creepiness.

* ''CallOfCthulhu'' has Groth, a planet sized eyeball that floats through space.

* The ''Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro'' Famicom game has a Backbeard as a boss, which was also in the manga.

*** Its body also appears hollow inside, implying that its "eye" is more like a lamp wavering back and forth inside, perhaps being its soul or something.

* And speaking of {{Rhythm Game}}s, one of the ''RockBand'' venues has a gigantic image of an eyeball (which appears to look in different directions during the performance) at the back of the stage. Surrounded by rings of teeth with tentacles coming out of the back of the stage.

* One of the player models in ''QuakeIIIArena'' - Orbb - is a giant eye with legs.

* The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Awareness_Office#The_IAO_seal original logo]] for the federal government's Information Awareness Office. They had to change it after people complained about a government project to mine civilian data [[UnfortunateImplications being represented by an all-seeing eye]]
** Instead of complaining about their activities? Out of sight, out of mind, it would seem.

* ''TheEyeInTheDoor'' by Pat Barker. It wasn't a real eye, just a peephole to spy on prisoners, but it had a similar effect.

* Similarly, [[LoisMcMasterBujold Barrayar's]] Imperial Security uses the Eye of Horus for its insignia.

* [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053459 Eyes Without a Face]], Georges Franju's 1959/1960 Films Gaumont picture, features fun, staring creepiness that will scare anyone afraid of dolls with lifelike eyes. Real NightmareFuel and the source of Mr. Idol's fascination with the topic, in the first place.

* Odineye from Brat-Halla is one of Odin's eyes that he sacrificed to the Well of Wisdom; it escaped and is plotting revenge for its treatment. It doesn't have a lid, but for some reason it does have a brow.

* ''{{MARDEK}}: Chapter 3'' has giant-floaty-eye monsters called I-Orbs and Dark Eyes, as well as several sessile-eyestalk monsters with varying powers.

* {{8-Bit Theater}} at one point has a passing reference to [[EvilSorcerer Black Mage]] worshipping "my new god, Mst'r Ieb'al". Guess what he looked like.

* [[DoctorWho Daleks]] have a...periscope in their giant-pepper-pot-of-death power armor, matching their single biological eye.

** There is also a passing reference to a painting whose eyes "followed you not only around the room, but also out of the gallery and all the way down the street.

* A superhero [[GoldenAge from 1939]] named [[http://www.toonopedia.com/eyesees.htm the Eye]].

* The [[EldrichAbomination Old God]] C'Tun from WorldOfWarcraft is a bossfigth with two stages. The first stage is against the Eye of C'Tun, which is (surprise, surprise!) a humongous eyeball that can fire an EyeBeam which kills players in one hit. After defeating the eye, his body rises from the ground for the stage two of the fight.
** Also in {{Warcraft}}, the warlock/ogre mage spell Eye of Kilrogg summons a floating green eye that serves as an extension of the caster's sight.

* [[{{Halo}} 343 Guilty Spark]].
