Umm I do agree on a rename, but Sclera... I seriously had to look that one up.
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!

Well that's what they are called, and I did know what they were (that's just me, but whatever). I say okay, the current names and differentiation are very confusing and a rename to Black Sclera Of Evil would definitely fix that.

The only more common name they have is "white of the eyes", which doesn't make sense in this particular situation (black whites of the eyes?).
Plus we already have a trope called Skintone Sclerae (different pluralization, but whatever).

I knew Sclera. I don't think it's that obscure a term and "black whites of their eyes" is just confusing. At least Black Sclera is clear and concise.

I think if it's wicked from Black Eyes of Evil, saying "when it's just the whites of the eyes that are black it's this," it would give it decent exposure. And a lot of people really do know the word Sclera.

Ok then I will just go hide in the retard corner lol man missing so many words lately.
I really don't see the big difference between the two really.

There are a number of works of fiction where black Scleras with bright iris's are used to represent something being alien and different. The Turian
of the mass effect spring to mind.

I object to using the term "sclera". We cannot expect most readers to understand such a technical term.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Can you provide proof that "sclera" is obscure enough to disqualify it?

Gentleman Troper!
Can you provide proof that "sclera" is well-known enough to qualify it?
(not that there's a point to that, unless somebody's created an official Word Disqualification Policy while I wasn't looking 
)
Hm. I know what sclera means, but I can't recall ever actually using the word or hearing it outside of a class. I am not sure obscure is quite the right word to use, but I do think it's perhaps a rare enough word to use that it's a questionable decision to make it the key part of a trope title. Even if people know what it means, they might use it so seldom that they can't really remember what it means without stopping to think about it.
Sclera is plain English that most native speakers learn by age ten. It's not exactly an obscure word. It's the word in English for that body part. It's just not a part of the body that comes up in conversation much. That doesn't make it obscure though.

I've always heard it referred to as "white of the eye" outside of this site and I'd think we'd do good to evoke the phrase if we can. Black Of The Crazy Eye?

Meh. Whether or not sclera is any good, there's decent resistance to the idea. We should at least try thinking up different names like Insanity Blackened Eyes or something.
I see the Awesomeness.
I've always heard it as "white of the eye" as well.
Fight smart, not fair.
All of the examples that don't use sclera are amazingly unclear. The ones that try to play with White of the Eye are the worst because you wind up with something like the Black Of The Eye which makes no sense at all and sounds a bit like you're talking about either the pupil or getting hit in the face.

There is now a single proposition rename crowner for this trope here.
This title has brought 98 people to the wiki from non-search engine links since 20th FEB '09.
Feel free to tell me if you think this crowner is premature.

If there were any confusion based on the name, the description and the image should clear it up just fine. At least, that's my theory.
In any case, I want to see some actual misuse before I can vote for a rename.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I'd nominate something like Crazy Blackshot Eyes — off of bloodshot eyes.

We lack consensus to rename. Are we done here?
I didn't write any of that.
Looks like it. I don't think there's any particular need for redirects.
Crown Description:
Vote up for yes, down for no.
The difference between this trope and Black Eyes of Evil is that Black Eyes of Evil means eyes that are entirely black while Black Eyes of Crazy means only the sclera is black. The current name doesn't really indicate that; in this context "eyes" is not specific enough.
