Basic Trope: Someone with unusual eyes hides them with a covering.

  • Straight: Charlie has demonlike eyes, which he hides with dark sunglasses.
  • Exaggerated: Charlie has a whole mess of Extra Eyes which he hides with a blindfold.
  • Downplayed: Charlie has an unusual eye color, such as purple, that he hides with contact lenses.
  • Justified: Charlie is a Half-Human Hybrid, and his eyes are the only extremely unusual thing about him that he has to hide.
  • Inverted: Charlie has normal eyes, but he wears demonlike contact lenses.
  • Subverted: It's rumored that Charlie wears sunglasses to cover up his demonic eyes, but it turns out that they're perfectly normal eyes when he takes the glasses off.
  • Double Subverted: But it turns out those "normal eyes" are actually contacts, and Charlie's real eyes underneath really are demonic.
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted:
    • No one has unusual eyes.
    • Charlie just walks around with his demonic eyes in the open, making no effort to cover them up.
  • Enforced: Can be a way of Obscured Special Effects. The CGI for Charlie's eyes can be expensive, and Charlie's actor may be discomforted by wearing the contact lenses for long periods of time, so it only makes sense to show his real eyes in important moments.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: Because Charlie wears sunglasses all the time, nobody ever knows he's not entirely human, which protects him from Van Helsing Hate Crimes.
  • Defied: Charlie decides not to wear any kind of eye covering.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
