7	If a character is deranged or has just lost it for a moment, one eye is drawn as being very different than the other. Commonly, the Mad Eye (or its iris/pupil) is much larger than the other. Can also double as an unspoken OhCrap moment. For extra effect, may be paired with TwitchyEye.

14	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
15	* When she gets angry, Revy in ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' has clear white irises, to accentuate her inner turmoil.
16	* Whenever someone is emotionally broken in ''Manga/ElfenLied''(which is ''often'') they get these, along with a KubrickStare.
17	* Just about everyone in the ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' manga.
18	* ''Solf J. Kimblee'' in a late chapter of ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' when he's telling Pride about how [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming screams are soothing to him]].
19	* A favorite shot of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers''' resident MadScientist, [[BigBad Jail Scaglietti]], when he's taunting the [[TheFederation Time-Space Administration Bureau]] via broadcast.
20	* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' has a lot of "emo-distortion" expressions, Mad Eye being just one of the effects. Rika busting this out in the second season is truly a sight to behold.
21	* Kurt Godel from ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi''
22	* Marik of ''Anime/YuGiOh'' did this from time to time, though he was crazy all the time, and this was because it was his dark side.
23	** In ''Manga/YuGiOhR'', Yako Tenma has this going on at least once in just about every one of his appearances after his StartOfDarkness. He's not quite right in the head, in case you couldn't tell.
24	* The entire cast of ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' exhibits this, sometimes as their default expression. It fits since most of them are clinically insane to some degree.
25	* Ryuga does this quite often in ''Anime/MetalFightBeyblade''. It succeeds in making him appear quite off his rocker (and he is).
26	* ''Manga/{{Vassalord}}'': 86 has this as his default expression. And when 86 gets serious somehow his eyes get even crazier looking!
27	* Chuck from ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' has one large white eye and a smaller black one.
28	* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' has two variations of this.
29	** Protagonist Kaneki Ken has one, as a result of being a HalfHumanHybrid. His right eye remains normal, but his left is prone to [[BlackEyesOfEvil giving away]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning his Ghoul]] nature. He frequently wears an eye-patch to conceal it. (It turns out to be a tell-tale sign of any HalfHumanHybrid, known as One-Eyed Ghouls.)
30	** Kureo Mado, a sadist CCG Investigator obsessed with killing Ghouls to produce new anti-Ghoul weapons, has one lazy eye and one that is almost always bulging.
31	* ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'': Sugou Nobuyuki/Oberon's right eye [[http://www.nerd-age.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Sword-Art-Online-episode-18-Oberon.png bugs out]] while he's gloating to Asuna in episode 18. That same eye later gets this treatment in the real world after Kirito [[EyeScream stabs him through it]] with the Pain Absorber [[YourMindMakesItReal set to zero]]; [[https://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/File:Nobuyuki_Sugou_eye.jpg it's permanently bloodshot, with visible veins/scarring extending in all directions from it]].
32	[[/folder]]
33
34	[[folder:Comic Books]]
35	* ''ComicBook/JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac.'' Quite a lot of the time, really. But then, he's insane quite a lot of the time.
36	* Anything by Creator/JhonenVasquez has this.
37	* ''ComicBook/TheMask'': [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_mask_comic_cover.jpg]]
38	* Falling under the "Deranged Character" subset are ComicBook/TheJoker's eyes as drawn in ''Batman: RIP''. There, one of his pupils is drawn slightly larger than the other, giving him a dangerous and mentally off-kilter look. The effect is so slight that it's only noticeable in close-up shots of the character, but it's definitely there. Then again, he is a MonsterClown with enough crazy to fill Arkham Asylum's halls ten times over.
39	* Most Returners in ''ComicBook/DeadEyesOpen'' seem to have one eye permanently open with a shrunken pupil.
40	* A specialty of Creator/AlanDavis. In the classic [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Detective Comics]] story "Fear for Sale", he combines this with an ExpressiveMask.
41	[[/folder]]
42
43	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
44	* Bill the Cat from ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty''.
45	* Cartoonist Steve Bell started depicting UsefulNote/TonyBlair with an increasingly mad eye. It eventually became his go-to artistic shorthand of identifying a character as Blair, even in some of his more abstract cartoons.
46	* Sometimes used in ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'', often when characters have had [[http://blog.flickerbox.com/wp-content/uploads/garfield.gif really strong]] [[http://img4.photobucket.com/albums/1103/susanweise/garfield_coffee.gif coffee]].
47	* When being sarcastic or angry, characters in Big Nate often display a Mad Eye
48	[[/folder]]
49
50	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
51	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Nine}}'', [[WaifProphet 6]] has one eye slightly larger than the other as a permanent feature, confirming his {{Cloudcuckoolander}} status.
52	* In ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail: Fievel Goes West'', Wiley Burp teaches Tiger how to intimidate someone using "The Laaaayyyyzzzzyyy Eyyyyye!" which is essentially an intentional evocation of this trope.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
56	* In ''Film/TheNewGuy'', [[MagicalNegro Luther]] teaches [[NaiveNewcomer Dizzy]] his "Crazy Eye" which consists of squinting one eye and opening the other wide.
57	* ''Film/NoTimeToDie'': Safin's henchman Cyclops has one eye that's quite a bit bigger than the other. Justified, as it's cybernetic, and it's not even his (apparently, it once belonged to Ernst Stavro Blofeld), so it wasn't properly sized for him. Unfortunately, because the eye is cybernetic, this makes it an easy target for Bond's EMP watch.
58	* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''
59	** Ragetti's wooden eye has this effect. It's too big for his socket, the wrong color, and always pointing away from his real eye.
60	** Many of Davy Jones' crewmen also have mismatched human and sea-creature eyes, notably Maccus the shark and Koleniko the pufferfish.
61	* When [[spoiler: Ellie]] comes BackFromTheDead at the climax of ''Film/PetSematary2019,'' her right eye has a blown pupil and won't focus on anything without her conscious control, drooping down otherwise.
62	* ''Film/ValleyOfTheFangs'': One of the film's lesser villains, Sun Lan, has a huge bulging eye in all his scenes. [[http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_detail.mhtml?id=5169&image_id=220553&display_set=eng It looks like this]].
63	[[/folder]]
64
65	[[folder:Literature]]
66	* The aptly named Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody from ''Literature/HarryPotter'' has a {{magical\|Eye}} replacement eye. It's bright blue, the size of a golf-ball, has 360 rotation and can see through just about anything. It's also virtually never looking in the same direction as his other eye.
67	* The unnamed old man in ''Literature/TheTellTaleHeart''. One eye, due to some deformity, is described as a "vulture eye" with a film over it. However, the eye drives the old man's ''roommate'' to insanity (whether this roommate is [[AmbiguousGender their]] servant, their apprentice, a caretaker or even their spouse is never mentioned).
68	* The Scarecrow from ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'' is described as having one eye larger than the other (accompanied by mismatched ears) due to poor artistry on his creator's part. He [[TheStoic never really loses his cool]] at any point in the book, and he is never depicted as any crazier than [[{{Cloudcuckooland}} the rest of the Ozians]], so it might be considered Subverted.
69	* The RedRightHand of the mercurial SerialKiller [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Karkas]] in ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'' is that he has one "crushed" eye.
70	* ''Literature/ScorpionShards'': Everyone maddened by Dillon gets one dilated pupil and one pinpoint pupil.
71	* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
72	** ''Literature/{{Hogfather}}'' brings us Jonathan Teatime, a FauxAffablyEvil and thoroughly insane member of the Guild of Assassins, whose GlassEye is the ''less'' scary one. The one that still works has an abnormally tiny pupil; he's described as "[looking] at the world through a pinhole". Even his boss Lord Downey, a man who in the prologue accepts a contract on the local equivalent of ''Father Christmas'' from a mysterious hooded spectre, finds him rather unnerving.
73	** Carcer, a particularly violent armed robber who Sam Vimes was pursuing at the start of ''Literature/{{Night Watch\|Discworld}}'', doesn't stop at just ''one'' Mad Eye. At one point he's encountered by a cavalry officer who immediately and correctly pegs him as a dangerous madman:
74	--->''He'd seen eyes like that on the battlefield.''
75	[[/folder]]
76
77	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
78	* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
79	** Roger Delgado's portrayal of the Master is very handsome and charming but has strikingly different eyes. One is always much wider than the other, which is unfocused and almost squinted. The effect is very disturbing.
80	** The Fourth Doctor's eyes do not quite ever point in the same direction, which is a really big part of how mad he looks. (The actor is perfectly capable of pointing both his eyes in the same direction when not in character.) His pupils are also noticeably off-centre.
81	** The Tenth Doctor also has slightly asymmetrical eyes. When one fan gave David Tennant's mother a painting they'd done of him with SelfFanservice strongly averted, she commented that it was a bit boss-eyed, to which Tennant replied, "Face it, Mum, I ''am'' a bit boss-eyed."
82	** In ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E3TheInvasion The Invasion]]'', [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Vaughn's]] right eye is half-closed through most of the serial, until he turns against the Cybermen; after that, it's wide open.
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:Myths & Religion]]
86	* Having a literal Mad Eye is OlderThanPrint: Cuchulain, the [[Myth/CelticMythology Irish]] folk hero. Whenever he went into one of his unstoppable rages, one of his eyes would get smaller and the other would get bigger. " ... he sucked one eye so deep into his head that a wild crane couldn't probe it onto his cheek out of the depths of his skull; the other eye fell out along his cheek." Now ''that's'' a Mad Eye.
87	[[/folder]]
88
89	[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
90	* Wrestling/BrianPillman, [[SanitySlippage after he became a loose cannon]]. Though it was more like a madman with a lazy eye, rather than anything exaggerated.
91	* Cibernético has a split right pupil. And though he has had his bouts with madness, this is more a sign of, well, being a {{cyborg}}.
92	* Wrestling/{{Kane}} had one on Monday Night Raw after unmasking. One eye was an icier blue with a smaller pupil.
93	* Kzy of Wrestling/DragonGate seems to have the same affliction Kane does. More noticeable in fact because Kzy's other eye is brown.
94	* As seen in the Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance, Wrestling Is, Wrestling/{{Chikara}} and such, Wrestling/SinnBodhi's right pupil tends to become an X.
95	* Cedric Pain in Reality OF Wrestling has a tiny left pupil.
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
99	* The Vigar puppet on ''Series/BRATSOfTheLostNebula'' was the first one with different sized eyes to be approved by Brian Henson.
100	[[/folder]]
101
102	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
103	* One ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'' mission has a GeneralRipper who "glares at his subject with one bulging and one squinting eye: paranoid fear and clinical suspicion".
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Theme Parks]]
107	* The Ghost Galaxy in ''Space Mountain: Ghost Galaxy'' has one skeletal-eye-socket and one giant blue nebula-eye.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Video Games]]
111	* King K. Rool from the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' game series has one eye that is often bloodshot, and tends to bulge out.
112	* ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'': Jim himself.
113	* In the re-render of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'', Vexen gains one of these.
114	** Master Xehanort seems to have a rather nasty case of one in the [[http://khinsider.tumblr.com/image/92033374618 2.5 remix cover art.]]
115	* Laverne from ''VideoGame/DayOfTheTentacle'' has one eye bigger than the other permanently. [[AmbidextrousSprite Which one depends on what side of her head you're looking at.]]
116	* Similarly, Doug Rattmann from the ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' games has one pupil permanently larger than the other. He's also a paranoid schizophrenic.
117	* The female model for the Malkavian clan in ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' has two different colored eyes--one blue, one yellow. Malkavian vampires are "enigmatic and deeply disturbed," marked by their clan's curse to suffer from some form of permanent madness, and have a history of acting as a higher-up vampire's on-call MadOracle. In the game, if you're to play as a Malkavian, all of your dialogue options are expressed through CrypticConversation and WordSaladHumor, as well as gaining the ability to know information before anyone's told you and predict future events.
118	* Whenever Glottis from ''VideoGame/GrimFandango'' gets excited about cars, or customizing something else with a motor or wheels, or gambling, he goes crazy-eyed, rapidly switching from one side to the other.
119	* In the Creepy and Cute pack for ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'', one of the added emotes (for the creepy side of things) is a version of this. HilarityEnsues when ''your creature is covered entirely in [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyes.]]''
120	* In ''[[VideoGame/KunioKun Nintendo World Cup]]'', characters would get this when stunned by a tackle.
121	* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'':
122	** Crazy Dave. He's craaaaaazy.
123	** All the zombies in the game also have larger left eyes.
124	** The Strawburst plant in the second game has a staring right eye.
125	* For some reason, Liara in the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' series is often shown with one eye squinting slightly more than the other, prompting many a joke along this line.
126	* Chris Redfield on the cover of the original ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil1 Resident Evil]]'' portrays this trope. Curse those zombie dogs.
127	** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7'', in the message Mia leaves for Ethan during the flashback to [[spoiler: her escorting Eveline on the ship]], one of her pupils is much larger than the other.
128	* The [[ActionBomb Agents of Doom]] from ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' sport mismatched eyes, to go with their [[SlasherSmile slasher smile]] and [[LaughingMad tendency to giggle]].
129	* Incorporated into the designs of several of the animatronics from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys''. In the first game, Foxy has one normal eye under his eyepatch and one drooping eye; in the second, the Mangle has one eyeball and one tiny glowing light on each head.
130	* When you face off against [[spoiler:Sans]] in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', his left eye changes from its normal "all black with a tiny iris of blue light" appearance to the blue expanding to give him the appearance of a glowing blue iris set against black sclera and a pinprick pupil, whilst his right eye remains normal. [[spoiler:Given the fight only takes place if you're undergoing the Genocide route, it emphasizes just how hard you pushed him over the edge.]]
131	** Seam in ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' has a large button for his right eye, giving him this effect.
132	* In ''VideoGame/PillarsOfEternity'', the mad priest and TokenEvilTeammate Durance's profile resembles an ash-covered [[UsefulNotes/RasputinTheMadMonk Grigoriy Rasputin]], but with his left eye visibly bulging. And he is quite nuts, an [[LargeHam eloquently hammy]] preacher of a goddess of flames and struggle whom he [[RageAgainstTheHeavens angrily calls a whore]] for abandoning him.
133	* ''VideoGame/PizzaTower'' has Peppino, whose eyes are regularly drawn mismatched to reflect how he is either [[NervousWreck crippled by anxiety]] or [[UnstoppableRage insane with fury]].
134	* ''VideoGame/ShantaeAndTheSevenSirens'': Golems have one big yellow eye with tiny pupil and one rectangular eye socket much larger than the other small, yellow, pupilless eye.
135	[[/folder]]
136
137	[[folder:Webcomics]]
138	* Black Mage, from ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' does this a lot, and was stuck for a while after a particular bit of frustration. As he put it after listening to one of Red Mage's "plans", "That's so stupid I can't even see straight."
139	* The titular amorph from ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' has one eye that is literally larger than the other, and the cartoonist is consistent about which is which, and what side each is on. Since Schlock can move his eyes around it doesn't really matter though.
140	* Several characters in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' do this sometimes... and there's one, a [[FrankensteinsMonster construct]], who really ''does'' have one eye bigger than the other.
141	* Bob from ''Webcomic/BobTheAngryFlower''. When Bob's scorching feral mania comes to the fore, he gets the Mad Eye.
142	* Vatsy, the insane journalist from ''Literature/VatsyAndBruno'', is always drawn with one eye in shadow to accentuate his wrong-ness.
143	* Happens occasionally in ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}''. Most notable when [[spoiler: Mad!Dave "convinces" the Daves to hire him as their mad scientist liaison]].
144	* Kano of ''Webcomic/{{Kagerou}}'' is frequently seen with pupils of very different sizes, though his actual ''eyes'' are the same size. The effect is halfway between Mad Eye and heterochromia.
145	* Nova from ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'', especially when in MadScientist [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0136.html mode]].
146	* Used in ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'' to show [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2009/08/23/obedience/ intense pain]], or to illustrate the [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2012/08/05/whos-the-crazy-one-here/ sudden, terrifying feeling]] of being the OnlySaneMan amongst a crazy crew that insists you get a costume change.
147	* In [[http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2003-03-30 this]] ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' sketchbook strip, [[AuthorAvatar Dan]] gets this while explaining his "master plan".
148	* ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'': One cameo character, [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20120627Cacbolg-news.jpg Cac'bolg]], has eyes like these. This emphasizes the fact that he's a member of Vel'Vloz'ress, [[ArmyOfThievesAndWhores the most messed up and chaotic faction]] in all of Chel'el'Sussoloth. Also, he seems to have some kind of obsession with poisons.
149	* ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'': [[https://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=1186 One of the denizens]] sports this expression after spending too long near Hillary's disembodied happiness. Too long being something like five minutes.
150	[[/folder]]
151
152	[[folder:Web Animation]]
153	* [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Jason]] from WebAnimation/ElementAnimation's ''The Crack'' has heterochromia, with one eye having a green iris. Also accentuated by his permanent case of red sclerae.
154	* Bubs, from ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'', definitely looks like this, but is no crazier than the rest of the cast.
155	* The eponymous character from ''WebAnimation/SpoilsburyToastBoy'' [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toastboy.png has this permanently]], as does his sister.
156	* ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' will sometimes show these, usually of the OhCrap variety, having a character with one eye as a ring and the other as a circle.
157	* Nutty from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' has this for ''both'' his eyes, each in a different variety: one with a constantly contracted pupil and one lazy green eye, the latter as a result of his [[SweetTooth sugar addiction]]. Interestingly, when he is cured in one episode, the differing colour remains while the lazy eye disappears, suggesting that part to be natural heterochromia rather than madness-related.
158	[[/folder]]

160	[[folder:Web Original]]
161	* This guy: [[{{Emoticon}} o_O]]
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:Western Animation]]
165	* Bumi from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' is a CrazyIsCool OldMaster with exceptionally refined [[DishingOutDirt earthbending powers]], surprising wisdom, and an asymmetrical stare.
166	* Many characters from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'', including the titular invader on occasion.
167	* The [[HairTriggerTemper anger-prone]] Mr. Demartino from ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', to the point where it looks like he's always on the verge of having a stroke.
168	* Shado the Brain Thief from ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw''. His mad eye alternates from right to left.
169	* Uncle Ruckus in ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' is a delusional BoomerangBigot with a very fake-looking glass eye that accentuates the ludicrousness of the character and his racist rants.
170	* ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'' -- the title character, who is never entirely straight.
171	* Vince from ''WesternAnimation/RexTheRunt'', one of the more random oddballs in claymation: given to random fits of Pavarotti and tangential one-word sentences.
172	* The starring spider in the (still unfinished) Art Institute of Portland student production ''Tangled Web'', sometimes. Then again, he's decided to become a vegetarian and is desperate to avoid the delicious, delicious fly that's just landed in his web, so can you really blame him?
173	* VERY evident on ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy.'' "Boy Double D. Eddy never stares at ME like that."
174	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', Duke Phillips once answered a reporter's question by telling him to "stare deep into the hypnotic powers of my [=EEEeeevil=] eeeye!" [[HypnoticEyes It apparently works.]]
175	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
176	** [[MadGod Discord]] has red eyes with two irises of different sizes to illustrate his chaotic nature.
177	** This look is sometimes briefly applied to characters as an unspoken OhCrap moment.
178	** This happens to characters when they suffer SanitySlippage, often combined with TwitchyEye.
179	* Two-Face gets this treatment as an effect of stylization in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', as does Jonah Hex in the episode "Showdown." Characters that aren't completely human, such as Man-Bat and Clayface, sometimes do this.
180	* Dr. Mystico on ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'', as if his introductory speech weren't enough of a giveaway.
181	* Icarus from ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'', with a permanent red eye (possibly bloodshot, [[IcarusAllusion given he flew too close to the sun]]).
182	* Débora from the ''Clanners'' shorts has a big left eye with a red iris as opposed to the right eye being smaller and black outlined white. In eating form, both eyes are colored like the right eye but the left eye is still bigger.
183	* In the animated adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'', whenever King K. Rool is particularly surprised, only one of his eyes bulges wide, as a nod to his game counterpart.
184	[[/folder]]
185
186	[[folder:Real Life]]
187	* Anisocoria, or asymmetric pupil dilation, can be a sign of serious neurological problems. This is also one of the first things [=EMTs=] and Paramedics check for when they suspect a concussion. Most carry penlights specifically to test this by shining it on the pupil and seeing if it reacts. That said, it can also merely be a byproduct of [[EyeScream severe past injury to the eye]], such as with Music/DavidBowie, who owed his distinctively mismatched eyes to being nearly blinded in a childhood fight[[note]]Bowie did suffer a severe bout of psychosis in the mid-70's owing to chronic cocaine use and later described some of his old stage personas as if they were dissociative identities in the past, but neither of those are related to his anisocoria[[/note]].
188	* Sir Creator/PatrickMoore, who for nearly sixty years was the face of popular astronomy on Creator/{{BBC}} TV, had this appearance - permanently - after a lifetime of obsessively looking into the heavens through the eyepieces of optical telescopes. (While undeniably eccentric, Moore could not be called insane.)
189	* Creator/JohnRitter had a slightly distorted pupil in his right eye, which was a result of birth defect known as coloboma, a congenital malformation of the eye causing defects in the lens, iris, or retina.
190	* Thom Yorke of Music/{{Radiohead}} fame has a perpetually droopy left eyelid -- he was born unable to open his left eye at birth due to paralysis, and one operation he had at a young age was botched, leading to its current state. [[https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/b7zfNZjlKBK3r8s9t9ldhx/ten-things-we-learned-from-thom-yorkes-desert-island-discs Thom decided against further corrective surgery]] and actually decided to hold onto his look as a personal badge of pride: "At that point I decided I liked the fact that it wasn’t the same, and I’ve liked it ever since."
