* ''Manga/{{Basilisk}}'' has a clear obsession with eyes. Three characters have magical powers based in their eyes much like the mythical basilisk. Four characters are blind, at least temporarily, and in every case the blindness is central to the story.
* ''Manga/LetterBee'' has an eye motif going on: One of Lag's eyes was replaced by a piece of amber when he was a baby; Ninche and [[spoiler:her sister]] both have cat-like eyes; [[EyePatchOfPower Dr. Thunderstone]] and [[spoiler:one other survivor of the airship crash]] are missing one eye each; the twin gate keepers are missing both eyes.

*** Dojutsu (literally "Eye Techniques") are a recurring ability within the story with the Sharingan, Byakugan and Rinnegan being chief among them.
*** Characters with AnimalMotifs tend to have irises which signify these traits. Naruto himself gains fox-like eyes and irises when his SuperpoweredEvilSide takes over, and Toad Sages like Jiraiya gain frog eyes and eye shadow (Naruto later combines both this and the fox eyes to create an all new look), and both Orochimaru and [[spoiler:Kabuto]] gain snake eyes as they gain power.
*** Some one-off characters (such as Priestess Shion in the first ''Shippuden'' movie) have special eyes or irises that signify their unique powers or status.
*** Even without that, you have several instances where characters are able to learn a lot about someone else by looking directly into their eyes. A good example is during Gaara and Sasuke's first meeting.

** There's also the fate of one of the students in the boy's school full of... former students, in ''Season of Mists''. He died choking on his own vomit, as he informs us, and we see his eyeball hanging out of its socket down his cheek. Fun stuff.
*** It's played for laughs, though-- his eye doesn't pop out until he's smacked on the back of a head by a grumpy former headmaster.

A supernatural FreakOut gives [[spoiler:Jack]] [[TheInsomniac apparently permanent insomniac eyes]].

* ''{{WesternAnimation/Gravity Falls}}'': Throughout the series there are eye motifs and drawings all over the place. Later, the main antagonist is revealed to be basically a triangle with only one huge eye in its face. Turns out its an all-seeing dream demon that is probably watching you right now.
** The way to tell if someone is possessed by said demon is too look into their eyes, as their color changes to a faint yellow and the pupils turn to slits.
** The Society of the Blind Eye has this not only in its name but its symbol is that of a crossed-out eye.

* In ''SoulEater'' [[BiggerBad Asura]] the [[HumanoidAbomination Kishin]] has a symbol which consists of three eyes turned on their sides. Pretty relevant since his "thing" is madness (distorted perception) born from paranoia (hence the extra eye). People who're going insane frequently hallucinate faces (their own and others) being replaced with one with the symbol in place of its eyes.
