While Al-Bhed mostly look human, their eyes have a distinctive spiral shaped iris, and as such often wear goggles to hide their eyes when traveling among Yevonites. This explicitly comes up when the Al-Bhed character Rikku asks to join the party as one of Yuna's guardians; Auron asks to see Rikku's eyes to confirm that she's an Al-Bhed, and the latter reluctanly agrees.

In much the same way that BlindPeopleWearSunglasses, characters with strange eyes often wear some form of covering to disguise them in public: villains might use them to conceal their UhOhEyes, cyborgs may wear them to hide [[ElectronicEyes ocular prosthetics]] from squeamish civilians, and the subtler breeds of magical beings can use them to pass as human - especially in settings where there's some kind of {{Masquerade}} in place.
Among the most popular variations on this theme involve dark sunglasses and wraparound shades - justifying the use of SunglassesAtNight - but in truth, the coverings can include almost anything so long as they conceal the inhuman elements of their eyes: spectacles, contact lenses, blindfolds, domino masks, glass eyes, illusions, or even BlindingBangs.
In live-action works, this often doubles as ObscuredSpecialEffects.

* Humma Kavula of ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' wears very thick glasses with welding goggle-like rims that completely hide his eyes when in profile. In the middle of a conversation with Zaphod, he very casually begins cleaning them, revealing that his "eyes" are actually holograms projected onto the lenses; to Zaphod's shock, Kavula's ''real'' eyes are just sunken black pits in his face.
* ''Film/HollowMan:'' after being made invisible, [[VillainProtagonist Sebastian Caine]] is given a mask in order to make him easier to talk to, complete with a set of wraparound shades. As it becomes clear, this isn't just to hide the mask's hollow-looking eyeholes, but also to protect his eyes from the ambient light his transparent eyelids can't keep out. Later, after Caine breaks out of the lab, this becomes part of a proper disguise.
* In ''Film/MenInBlack3'', Boris the Animal sports weird, goggle-like protrusions vaguely reminiscent of BlackEyesOfEvil. While his present self commonly leaves them uncovered, his past self keeps them hidden behind aviator shades. [[spoiler: The finale reveals that the goggles themselves are another layer of the disguise, for when Boris goes OneWingedAngel, the goggles slide off him, unveiling empty sockets.]]
* Ms Norman of ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' wears opaque sunglasses at all times to hide the fact that [[spoiler: she's actually a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Ditto]] and sports the Pokémon's distinctive BlackBeadEyes - apparently [[MorphicResonance the only thing that a Ditto can't change]].]]
* During ''Film/TheTerminator'', the T-800 is damaged in a car crash and has to [[SelfSurgery remove]] [[EyeScream one one of his synthetic flesh eyes]], exposing the glowing red cybernetic optic beneath. To conceal this, he wears sunglasses for the remainder of the movie - up until he loses them and a sizeable chunk of his face during the climatic road pursuit.
* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': On top of wearing dark glasses, Judge Doom wears glass eyes to conceal [[spoiler:the fact that he's a toon and has the shapeshifting eyes to prove it. If that wasn't creepy enough, those glass eyes are the ''only'' part of his disguise to come off during the final battle, leaving the rest of his appearance up to the viewer's imagination]].
* In ''Film/XTheManWithTheXRayEyes'', as Dr Xavier continues taking the XRayVision eyedrops, his eyes begin to deform. By the halfway mark, he's forced to wear heavy wraparound shades, both to shield himself from the SensoryOverload and to conceal his unearthly SupernaturalGoldEyes. In the end, he's degenerated into full-blown BlackEyesOfEvil and deprived of his shades, forcing him to walk around with his eyes clenched shut - which he can manage because he can ''see through his own eyelids.''

[[folder:Literature]]
*''Literature/ArmageddonForce'': Adam has an eye completely made up of pulsing energy as a result of the experiments that turned him half-Reaper. To hide this and blend in, he wears an eye patch, though his power allows him to see through the covering.
* In Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's short storty "Bon-Bon" {{the Devil}}, when visiting a French ''restaurateur'', wears a "pair of green spectacles, with side glasses", seemingly to "protect[] his eyes from the influence of the light". In the course of their conversation, the Devil takes off his glasses, revealing to his astonished host that [[EyelessFace he has no eyes at all.]]
* The [[PathOfInspiration Monks]] of the ''Literature/TheElectricChurch'' all wear wraparound shades to hide their creepy-looking mechanical eyes. As they're quite up front about being {{cyborg}}s, this is mainly to avoid freaking out potential converts: apparently, eyes are the one thing that their technology can't replicate without plummeting into the UncannyValley. [[spoiler: This is actually an early hint that [[MysteriousBacker Richard Marin]] is actually an independent cyborg avatar, as he's never seen out of sunglasses; in the finale, he makes this clear by doffing his sunglasses to reveal his mechanical eyes.]]
* In ''Literature/GhostFinders'', JC Chance acquires [[GlowingEyesOfDoom brilliantly-shining eyes]] from the mysterious Light after his near-death experience; from then on, he has to wear heavy dark sunglasses to go out in public.
* In ''Literature/GoodOmens,'' the demon Crowley wears CoolShades to hide his snakelike HellishPupils from humanity - and also because he has a fantastic sense of style. [[spoiler: They melt away during his climactic charge across the burning M25, leaving the snake eyes unmasked.]]
* The eponymous villain of ''Literature/TheInvisibleMan'' usually augments his BandagedFace with dark glasses in order to conceal his invisible eyes - either so he can hide his true nature while in public or so he can make himself easier to talk to in private conversations. This is usually the case in adaptations of the story as well.
* Early in ''[[Literature/TheMagicians The Magician King]],'' Julia Wicker casts a spell that turns her eyes pitch-black as a side-effect. All well and good up while she's in the magical land of Fillory, but when Quentin and Julia end up accidentally returning to Earth, she's forced to acquire a pair of sunglasses so unexpecting {{Muggles}} aren't freaked out by the BlackEyesOfEvil.
* In Brian Lumley's ''Literature/{{Necroscope}}'' series, the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Wamphyri]] often sport vivid scarlet eyes, though most are [[VoluntaryShapeshifting able to conceal them]] while dealing with mortals. In the first book [[spoiler: Boris Dragosani]] doesn't learn how, and thus spends several of the later chapters concealing his increasingly inhuman eyes behind sunglasses.
* ''Literature/TheOneWhoEatsMonsters:'' Ryn has eyes with matte black sclera and rings of blue fire for irises; as they're an immutable and unmistakable sign of her divinity, she wears dark sunglasses most of the time and claims they're prescription.
* [[WarGod Ares]] of ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' wears sunglasses to cover his FireballEyeballs, in keeping with his BadassBiker image. However, this doesn't always work, as the fire in his eyes grows hotter as he gets angrier, at one point ''melting'' his sunglasses through sheer wrath.
* In the ''Literature/SonjaBlue'' series, red eyes are one of the symptoms of vampirism, which makes sunglasses very popular with the vampires - hence the title of the first book of the series, ''Sunglasses After Dark.''
* In the ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' ExpandedUniverse, there is an alien race called the Miraluka, HumanAliens who are so Force Sensitive that they evolved to the point of no longer needing physical eyes. This leaves them born with only [[EyelessFacevestigial eye sockets]], which they cover with cloth wrappings for the sake of not unnerving other sapient life.
* ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'':
** In ''New Moon'', the Volturi Heidi is responsible for procuring prey and bringing them to Volturi tower by pretending to be a tour guide. Bella notes that she has unusual violet eyes, from wearing blue contact lenses over red vampire eyes.
** In ''Breaking Dawn'', the newly-turned Bella needs to bluff out her father when he unexpectedly visits. Part of this involves wearing brown lenses to cover her bright-red eyes.
* ''Literature/TheWitches'': Witches wear glasses to conceal their unique eye colors. The book describe this as "like fire and ice dancing together", while the [[Film/TheWitches1990 live-action]] [[Film/TheWitches2020 adaptations]] instead depict witch eyes as having a purple tinge to them. For good measure, the first witch Luke encounters in the 1990 film wears sunglasses, being instantly given away when the well-informed Luke notices her eyes.

* In the 1996 ''Series/DoctorWho'' TV movie, the Master wears wraparound shades to cover up his slit pupils - apparently a remnant of the Cheetah virus that he caught during "Survival".
* ''Series/{{Farscape}}''
** [[InsaneAdmiral Captain Durka]] lost his right eye in battle many years prior to the series, and is immediately distinguished by the silver mechanical replacement he wears. However, when he reappears as a Mind-Cleansed servant of the Nebari in "[[Recap/FarscapeS01E15DurkaReturns Durka Returns]]," he has taken to covering the prosthetic with an EyepatchOFPower as part of his efforts to disconnect himself from his past. When the Cleansing is undone, Durka quickly discards everything that connected him to his earlier pacifism, including [[ImportantHaircut his long hair]] and the patch.
** Noranti sports a visible ThirdEye that opens and glows when she's using her mystical powers. In the episode "[[Recap/FarscapeS04E12Kansas Kansas]]", [[spoiler: when the crew end up on Earth in the 1980s]], Noranti takes to hiding her eye with a bandanna so none of the locals will know she's actually an alien.
* As with the original novel, Crowley of ''Series/GoodOmens2019'' sports yellow snakelike eyes, and takes care to hide them with a very stylish pair of sunglasses - in sharp contrast to other demons, who don't even bother hiding their own UhOhEyes. For added comedy, Crowley can be seen wearing sunglasses as early as Imperial Rome... as in, ''RuleOfFunny before]]'' [[RuleOfFunny the invention of glasses]].
*''Series/{{MANTIS}}'': In one episode, Miles is confronted by a group of mysterious, extradimensional MenInBlack sunglasses who claim to want to make our world a peaceful utopia. A skeptical Miles asks to see their eyes (reasoning that "the eyes are the windows to the soul"), and flees in horror when one reveals his are pure, glistening black.

* In the music video to "Spectrum" by Music/{{Zedd}}, a (presumably alien) woman arrives on Earth, human to all appearances except for her pitch-black eyes. Naturally, she has to disguise them with sunglasses.

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade:''
** Members of the [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Salubri clan]] all sport a ThirdEye, which are usually disguised as a scar when not active; however, one possible Flaw causes it to always remain open, forcing the character to hide it lest they be [[HeroWithBadPublicity hunted down and killed]] by fellow vampires inspired by the Tremere clan's propaganda campaign. [[spoiler: This comes back to bite the Tremere clan in the Gehenna scenario "Fair Is Foul:" thanks to Lord Tremere's diablerization of Saulot, the entire Tremere clan has inherited a bit of Salubri blood... and as the Withering sets in, the clan begins manifesting third eyes of their own, [[LaserGuidedKarma effectively branding them as pariahs]] and presumably forcing them to hide their new eyes [[HoistByHisOwnPetard lest they end up on the receiving end of their own pogrom]].]]
** In the revised Followers of Set clanbook, the Setite vampire Renenet wears wraparound shades to hide her [[HypnoticEyes hypnotic]], [[HellishPupils snakelike eyes]] - either because she's suffering from a rare clan flaw causing her to manifest reptilian traits, or just because she's secretly using the Serpentis Discipline.
** Gangrel archaeologist Cuthbert Beckett sports cat-like red eyes, an animal trait leftover from a past Frenzy (commonly known as a [[https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Beast_Mark Beast Mark]]). Given the need to protect the {{Masquerade}}, he usually covers them with a pair of sunglasses.
** Another Gangrel example: the [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Protean]] ability "Eyes Of The Beast" allows Gangrel vampires to manifest glowing red eyes that can see perfectly in darkness; unfortunately, this can freak out mortals very easily, so Gangrel players are advised to wear sunglasses if they have to interact with anyone while this power's active.
** The Necromancy ritual "Occhio d'Uomo Morto" requires the practitioner to [[EyeScream rip out one of their own eyeballs]] and replace it with a ritually-preserved substitute taken from a corpse. Though this ritual grants them the Shroudsight ability, it also results in the necromancer looking pretty disturbing unless they cover up the new eye with sunglasses.
* In ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', the mutants known as Navigators have a ThirdEye in the middle of their foreheads that they use to perceive the Warp in order to direct Imperial ships (relatively) safely through its currents. When they interact with non-Navigators, they cover this third eye with a shawl, hood, metal cover, or some other means of protection, as it's believed that anyone who sees this third eye [[DeadlyGaze will be driven mad]].

[[folder:Video Games]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'' [[spoiler: Boss the bartender wears sunglasses to hide his unusual red eyes, a sign of his true identity: Thomas Mutton, the man giving Vincent nightmares.]]
* JC Denton of ''VideoGame/DeusEx'' wears sunglasses all the time to disguise his only visible augmentations - namely his glowing blue eyes.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'' depicts [[WellIntentionedExtremist the Architect]] as outwardly near-human except for his disfigured eyes, one of which is lopsided and mangled shut, while the other is pitch-black. For most of the game, he hides the upper half of his face behind a golden domino mask.
* In ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', Ophelia Phamrsolone wears an eyepatch to cover her Mystic Eye of Prolongation, a Jewel-class Mystic Eye that allows her to reverse strengths and weaknesses by culling all possibilities to a single course.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', the Al-Bhed are labelled heretics by the [[LuddWasRight luddite]] [[CorruptChurch Church of Yevon]] due to their use of technology, as Yevon insists that [[AndManGrewProud reliance on advanced technology led to the downfall of humanity]] and the creation of the EldritchAbomination Sin, which has been ravaging the land for the last thousand years. While Al-Bhed mostly look human, their eyes have a distinctive spiral shaped iris, and as such often wear goggles to hide their eyes when traveling among Yevonites.
* In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'', Visas Marr is a Miraluka and thus [[EyelessFace had no eyes to begin with]]. However, Darth Nihilus took it a step further after recruiting her: he gouged out the flesh where her eyes would have been, leaving two ragged empty sockets. Ever since then, Visas has worn a veil over the upper half of her face to conceal her wounds.
* ''VideoGame/Persona2 Eternal Punishment'': Takahisa Kandori wears sunglasses at all times to hide the BlackEyesOfEvil he gained after he was brought BackFromTheDead.
* Albert Wesker of the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' series commonly wears SunglassesAtNight; however, since since the events of ''Code Veronica,'' he has worn the shades to hide his [[RedEyesTakeWarning eerie red eyes]] - the only visible mutation induced by his virus.
* ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'':
** Orochi Group security operative Dragan Dzoavich always wears the uniform wraparound shades, even at night; however, in close-ups it's clear that his eyes are actually scarlet in colour - adding to his mysterious nature.
** Said the {{Mummy}} completes his [[ManOfWealthAndTaste expensive ensemble]] with a pair of aviator shades, both to look cool and to hide his empty eye sockets. Of course, it's pretty obvious from the look of him that he's a reanimated corpse, so the shades are mainly there because Said prefers not to upset his clients more than necessary.
* As with his counterpart in the original tabletop game, Beckett of ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' wears sunglasses to hide the fact that he has glowing red eyes.
* Demon Hunters in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' have spectral eyes in the same fashion as their founder Illidan Stormrage. Their physical eyes are gouged out and replaced with balls of magic fel fire. Most Demon Hunters, Illidan included, wrap their eyes to hide the fireballs and the burnt flesh around them.
* In ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'', the "Thin Man" is an enemy that at first glance appears to be a human wearing a fancy suit. Closer inspection reveals scale-like marks on the neck and reptile eyes. To hide their inhuman eyes, Thin Men always wear sunglasses. The game loves showing them from dramatic angles, such that their eyes can be seen peering over their glasses.
* In ''VideoGame/XCOM2'', the Advent Speaker appears to be an updated version of the Thin Man from VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown. The neck marks are less prominent, and the camera angles ensure his eyes are never seen directly, thanks to continuing to always wear sunglasses. When [[WordOfGod Jake Soloman was asked whether the speaker was a Thin Man]], Jake only [[TeasingCreator sarcastically joked about the weird neck markings the Advent Speaker has.]]

* CharacterBlog ''Webcomic/FlowersSurroundOurSoul'': After musing about his {{Glamour}} failing to affect his four black-scleraed eyes, Lewthur receives a slew of asks asking if he could just [[InvokedTrope wear sunglasses to hide them]]. He then does a fashion montage of various cheesy sunglasses, and also attempts to hide them by brushing his hair over the top set and putting a bandanna over the bottom set, before deciding he'll just figure it out as he goes.
* Sneaky of ''Webcomic/ATaleOfFiction'' sports BlackEyesOfEvil [[MorphicResonance no matter what form he takes]]; consequently, he wears sunglasses to cover them while in human form.
* ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'': [[spoiler: Spender wears sunglasses [[https://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-7-pages-20-21 to hide his permanently black eyes]].]]
* In ''Webcomic/VanadysTalesOfAFallenGoddess'', the titular Fallen Goddess generally wears Cool Shades to hide her solid blue eyes.

[[folder:Web Video]]
* When [[EldritchAbomination the Entity]] is finally unveiled in ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'', it's found to have taken a human form in order to hide itself from Lord Vyce and (later) to toy with Linkara. Until the big reveal, it wears opaque shades at all times to conceal the fact that its eyes are just empty sockets filled with glowing grey static. [[spoiler: Plus, it's stolen the form of 90's Kid, who always wears shades anyway.]]
* ''WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}}'': A common gag in "Fix Your Pix" videos is that he'll "remove" hair or glasses that are hiding someone's eyes to get a better look at them...only to discover they're not at all human. Then he'll promptly close them again.
* In Website/SFDebris' playthrough of ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', his first character is an Imperial Agent by the name of Rex Dart. Rex is a Miraluka - an eyeless HumanAlien with the power to "see" through the Force - and given that the Empire is conscripting any Force sensitives they can get their hands on, Rex is careful to hide his true nature in order to avoid being sent to the meatgrinder that is [[AcademyOfEvil the Sith Academy]]. To that end, he wears clunky cybernetic implants over his face [[ObfuscatingDisability to make it look as if he's just a blind human]]. Much to his annoyance, though, ''everyone'' in the game seems to already know that he's an alien no matter how carefully he tries to hide it.

*At one point in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode "[[Recap/BatmanBeyondS1E7Meltdown Meltdown]]", Derek Powers has to put sunglasses on and cut a meeting short due to the artificial skin over and around his eyes starting to crack.
* ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures'': In "New Girl In Town", Betrayus has one of his ghosts possess his and President Spheros' niece so she can get info about the repository and the Tree Of Life out of Pac. Since people can tell when someone is possessed by looking at their change in eye colour and shape, Doctor Buttocks invents special contact lenses so that the victim's eyes will still resemble that of a normal Pacworld citizen.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': Big Billy only has a single eye, which he conceals behind his BlindingBangs.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Garnet has a ThirdEye due to being a [[FusionDance fusion]] between Ruby and Sapphire. She wears a visor to cover it up, possibly because humans could find it weird.

* Humma Kavula of ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' wears very thick glasses with welding goggle-like rims that completely hide his eyes when in profile. In the middle of a conversation with Zaphod, he very casually begins cleaning them, revealing that his "eyes" are actually holograms projected onto the lenses; to Zaphod's shock, Kavula's ''real'' eyes are just sunken black pits in his face.
* ''Film/HollowMan:'' after being made invisible, [[VillainProtagonist Sebastian Caine]] is given a mask in order to make him easier to talk to, complete with a set of wraparound shades. As it becomes clear, this isn't just to hide the mask's hollow-looking eyeholes, but also to protect his eyes from the ambient light his transparent eyelids can't keep out. Later, after Caine breaks out of the lab, this becomes part of a proper disguise.
* In ''Film/MenInBlack3'', Boris the Animal sports weird, goggle-like protrusions vaguely reminiscent of BlackEyesOfEvil. While his present self commonly leaves them uncovered, his past self keeps them hidden behind aviator shades. [[spoiler: The finale reveals that the goggles themselves are another layer of the disguise, for when Boris goes OneWingedAngel, the goggles slide off him, unveiling empty sockets.]]
* Ms Norman of ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' wears opaque sunglasses at all times to hide the fact that [[spoiler: she's actually a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Ditto]] and sports the Pokémon's distinctive BlackBeadEyes - apparently [[MorphicResonance the only thing that a Ditto can't change]].]]
* During ''Film/TheTerminator'', the T-800 is damaged in a car crash and has to [[SelfSurgery remove]] [[EyeScream one one of his synthetic flesh eyes]], exposing the glowing red cybernetic optic beneath. To conceal this, he wears sunglasses for the remainder of the movie - up until he loses them and a sizeable chunk of his face during the climatic road pursuit.
* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': On top of wearing dark glasses, Judge Doom wears glass eyes to conceal [[spoiler:the fact that he's a toon and has the shapeshifting eyes to prove it. If that wasn't creepy enough, those glass eyes are the ''only'' part of his disguise to come off during the final battle, leaving the rest of his appearance up to the viewer's imagination]].
* In ''Film/XTheManWithTheXRayEyes'', as Dr Xavier continues taking the XRayVision eyedrops, his eyes begin to deform. By the halfway mark, he's forced to wear heavy wraparound shades, both to shield himself from the SensoryOverload and to conceal his unearthly SupernaturalGoldEyes. In the end, he's degenerated into full-blown BlackEyesOfEvil and deprived of his shades, forcing him to walk around with his eyes clenched shut - which he can manage because he can ''see through his own eyelids.''

*''Literature/ArmageddonForce'': Adam has an eye completely made up of pulsing energy as a result of the experiments that turned him half-Reaper. To hide this and blend in, he wears an eye patch, though his power allows him to see through the covering.
* In Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's short storty "Bon-Bon" {{the Devil}}, when visiting a French ''restaurateur'', wears a "pair of green spectacles, with side glasses", seemingly to "protect[] his eyes from the influence of the light". In the course of their conversation, the Devil takes off his glasses, revealing to his astonished host that [[EyelessFace he has no eyes at all.]]
* The [[PathOfInspiration Monks]] of the ''Literature/TheElectricChurch'' all wear wraparound shades to hide their creepy-looking mechanical eyes. As they're quite up front about being {{cyborg}}s, this is mainly to avoid freaking out potential converts: apparently, eyes are the one thing that their technology can't replicate without plummeting into the UncannyValley. [[spoiler: This is actually an early hint that [[MysteriousBacker Richard Marin]] is actually an independent cyborg avatar, as he's never seen out of sunglasses; in the finale, he makes this clear by doffing his sunglasses to reveal his mechanical eyes.]]
* In ''Literature/GhostFinders'', JC Chance acquires [[GlowingEyesOfDoom brilliantly-shining eyes]] from the mysterious Light after his near-death experience; from then on, he has to wear heavy dark sunglasses to go out in public.
* In ''Literature/GoodOmens,'' the demon Crowley wears CoolShades to hide his snakelike HellishPupils from humanity - and also because he has a fantastic sense of style. [[spoiler: They melt away during his climactic charge across the burning M25, leaving the snake eyes unmasked.]]
* The eponymous villain of ''Literature/TheInvisibleMan'' usually augments his BandagedFace with dark glasses in order to conceal his invisible eyes - either so he can hide his true nature while in public or so he can make himself easier to talk to in private conversations. This is usually the case in adaptations of the story as well.
* Early in ''[[Literature/TheMagicians The Magician King]],'' Julia Wicker casts a spell that turns her eyes pitch-black as a side-effect. All well and good up while she's in the magical land of Fillory, but when Quentin and Julia end up accidentally returning to Earth, she's forced to acquire a pair of sunglasses so unexpecting {{Muggles}} aren't freaked out by the BlackEyesOfEvil.
* In Brian Lumley's ''Literature/{{Necroscope}}'' series, the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Wamphyri]] often sport vivid scarlet eyes, though most are [[VoluntaryShapeshifting able to conceal them]] while dealing with mortals. In the first book [[spoiler: Boris Dragosani]] doesn't learn how, and thus spends several of the later chapters concealing his increasingly inhuman eyes behind sunglasses.
* ''Literature/TheOneWhoEatsMonsters:'' Ryn has eyes with matte black sclera and rings of blue fire for irises; as they're an immutable and unmistakable sign of her divinity, she wears dark sunglasses most of the time and claims they're prescription.
* [[WarGod Ares]] of ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' wears sunglasses to cover his FireballEyeballs, in keeping with his BadassBiker image. However, this doesn't always work, as the fire in his eyes grows hotter as he gets angrier, at one point ''melting'' his sunglasses through sheer wrath.
* In the ''Literature/SonjaBlue'' series, red eyes are one of the symptoms of vampirism, which makes sunglasses very popular with the vampires - hence the title of the first book of the series, ''Sunglasses After Dark.''
* In the ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' ExpandedUniverse, there is an alien race called the Miraluka, HumanAliens who are so Force Sensitive that they evolved to the point of no longer needing physical eyes. This leaves them born with only [[EyelessFacevestigial eye sockets]], which they cover with cloth wrappings for the sake of not unnerving other sapient life.
* ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'':
** In ''New Moon'', the Volturi Heidi is responsible for procuring prey and bringing them to Volturi tower by pretending to be a tour guide. Bella notes that she has unusual violet eyes, from wearing blue contact lenses over red vampire eyes.
** In ''Breaking Dawn'', the newly-turned Bella needs to bluff out her father when he unexpectedly visits. Part of this involves wearing brown lenses to cover her bright-red eyes.
* ''Literature/TheWitches'': Witches wear glasses to conceal their unique eye colors. The book describe this as "like fire and ice dancing together", while the [[Film/TheWitches1990 live-action]] [[Film/TheWitches2020 adaptations]] instead depict witch eyes as having a purple tinge to them. For good measure, the first witch Luke encounters in the 1990 film wears sunglasses, being instantly given away when the well-informed Luke notices her eyes.

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* In the 1996 ''Series/DoctorWho'' TV movie, the Master wears wraparound shades to cover up his slit pupils - apparently a remnant of the Cheetah virus that he caught during "Survival".
* ''Series/{{Farscape}}''
** [[InsaneAdmiral Captain Durka]] lost his right eye in battle many years prior to the series, and is immediately distinguished by the silver mechanical replacement he wears. However, when he reappears as a Mind-Cleansed servant of the Nebari in "[[Recap/FarscapeS01E15DurkaReturns Durka Returns]]," he has taken to covering the prosthetic with an EyepatchOFPower as part of his efforts to disconnect himself from his past. When the Cleansing is undone, Durka quickly discards everything that connected him to his earlier pacifism, including [[ImportantHaircut his long hair]] and the patch.
** Noranti sports a visible ThirdEye that opens and glows when she's using her mystical powers. In the episode "[[Recap/FarscapeS04E12Kansas Kansas]]", [[spoiler: when the crew end up on Earth in the 1980s]], Noranti takes to hiding her eye with a bandanna so none of the locals will know she's actually an alien.
* As with the original novel, Crowley of ''Series/GoodOmens2019'' sports yellow snakelike eyes, and takes care to hide them with a very stylish pair of sunglasses - in sharp contrast to other demons, who don't even bother hiding their own UhOhEyes. For added comedy, Crowley can be seen wearing sunglasses as early as Imperial Rome... as in, ''RuleOfFunny before]]'' [[RuleOfFunny the invention of glasses]].
*''Series/{{MANTIS}}'': In one episode, Miles is confronted by a group of mysterious, extradimensional MenInBlack sunglasses who claim to want to make our world a peaceful utopia. A skeptical Miles asks to see their eyes (reasoning that "the eyes are the windows to the soul"), and flees in horror when one reveals his are pure, glistening black.

[[folder:Music]]
* In the music video to "Spectrum" by Music/{{Zedd}}, a (presumably alien) woman arrives on Earth, human to all appearances except for her pitch-black eyes. Naturally, she has to disguise them with sunglasses.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade:''
** Members of the [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Salubri clan]] all sport a ThirdEye, which are usually disguised as a scar when not active; however, one possible Flaw causes it to always remain open, forcing the character to hide it lest they be [[HeroWithBadPublicity hunted down and killed]] by fellow vampires inspired by the Tremere clan's propaganda campaign. [[spoiler: This comes back to bite the Tremere clan in the Gehenna scenario "Fair Is Foul:" thanks to Lord Tremere's diablerization of Saulot, the entire Tremere clan has inherited a bit of Salubri blood... and as the Withering sets in, the clan begins manifesting third eyes of their own, [[LaserGuidedKarma effectively branding them as pariahs]] and presumably forcing them to hide their new eyes [[HoistByHisOwnPetard lest they end up on the receiving end of their own pogrom]].]]
** In the revised Followers of Set clanbook, the Setite vampire Renenet wears wraparound shades to hide her [[HypnoticEyes hypnotic]], [[HellishPupils snakelike eyes]] - either because she's suffering from a rare clan flaw causing her to manifest reptilian traits, or just because she's secretly using the Serpentis Discipline.
** Gangrel archaeologist Cuthbert Beckett sports cat-like red eyes, an animal trait leftover from a past Frenzy (commonly known as a [[https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Beast_Mark Beast Mark]]). Given the need to protect the {{Masquerade}}, he usually covers them with a pair of sunglasses.
** Another Gangrel example: the [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Protean]] ability "Eyes Of The Beast" allows Gangrel vampires to manifest glowing red eyes that can see perfectly in darkness; unfortunately, this can freak out mortals very easily, so Gangrel players are advised to wear sunglasses if they have to interact with anyone while this power's active.
** The Necromancy ritual "Occhio d'Uomo Morto" requires the practitioner to [[EyeScream rip out one of their own eyeballs]] and replace it with a ritually-preserved substitute taken from a corpse. Though this ritual grants them the Shroudsight ability, it also results in the necromancer looking pretty disturbing unless they cover up the new eye with sunglasses.
* In ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', the mutants known as Navigators have a ThirdEye in the middle of their foreheads that they use to perceive the Warp in order to direct Imperial ships (relatively) safely through its currents. When they interact with non-Navigators, they cover this third eye with a shawl, hood, metal cover, or some other means of protection, as it's believed that anyone who sees this third eye [[DeadlyGaze will be driven mad]].

[[folder:Video Games]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'' [[spoiler: Boss the bartender wears sunglasses to hide his unusual red eyes, a sign of his true identity: Thomas Mutton, the man giving Vincent nightmares.]]
* JC Denton of ''VideoGame/DeusEx'' wears sunglasses all the time to disguise his only visible augmentations - namely his glowing blue eyes.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'' depicts [[WellIntentionedExtremist the Architect]] as outwardly near-human except for his disfigured eyes, one of which is lopsided and mangled shut, while the other is pitch-black. For most of the game, he hides the upper half of his face behind a golden domino mask.
* In ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', Ophelia Phamrsolone wears an eyepatch to cover her Mystic Eye of Prolongation, a Jewel-class Mystic Eye that allows her to reverse strengths and weaknesses by culling all possibilities to a single course.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', the Al-Bhed are labelled heretics by the [[LuddWasRight luddite]] [[CorruptChurch Church of Yevon]] due to their use of technology, as Yevon insists that [[AndManGrewProud reliance on advanced technology led to the downfall of humanity]] and the creation of the EldritchAbomination Sin, which has been ravaging the land for the last thousand years. While Al-Bhed mostly look human, their eyes have a distinctive spiral shaped iris, and as such often wear goggles to hide their eyes when traveling among Yevonites.
* In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'', Visas Marr is a Miraluka and thus [[EyelessFace had no eyes to begin with]]. However, Darth Nihilus took it a step further after recruiting her: he gouged out the flesh where her eyes would have been, leaving two ragged empty sockets. Ever since then, Visas has worn a veil over the upper half of her face to conceal her wounds.
* ''VideoGame/Persona2 Eternal Punishment'': Takahisa Kandori wears sunglasses at all times to hide the BlackEyesOfEvil he gained after he was brought BackFromTheDead.
* Albert Wesker of the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' series commonly wears SunglassesAtNight; however, since since the events of ''Code Veronica,'' he has worn the shades to hide his [[RedEyesTakeWarning eerie red eyes]] - the only visible mutation induced by his virus.
* ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'':
** Orochi Group security operative Dragan Dzoavich always wears the uniform wraparound shades, even at night; however, in close-ups it's clear that his eyes are actually scarlet in colour - adding to his mysterious nature.
** Said the {{Mummy}} completes his [[ManOfWealthAndTaste expensive ensemble]] with a pair of aviator shades, both to look cool and to hide his empty eye sockets. Of course, it's pretty obvious from the look of him that he's a reanimated corpse, so the shades are mainly there because Said prefers not to upset his clients more than necessary.
* As with his counterpart in the original tabletop game, Beckett of ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' wears sunglasses to hide the fact that he has glowing red eyes.
* Demon Hunters in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' have spectral eyes in the same fashion as their founder Illidan Stormrage. Their physical eyes are gouged out and replaced with balls of magic fel fire. Most Demon Hunters, Illidan included, wrap their eyes to hide the fireballs and the burnt flesh around them.
* In ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'', the "Thin Man" is an enemy that at first glance appears to be a human wearing a fancy suit. Closer inspection reveals scale-like marks on the neck and reptile eyes. To hide their inhuman eyes, Thin Men always wear sunglasses. The game loves showing them from dramatic angles, such that their eyes can be seen peering over their glasses.
* In ''VideoGame/XCOM2'', the Advent Speaker appears to be an updated version of the Thin Man from VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown. The neck marks are less prominent, and the camera angles ensure his eyes are never seen directly, thanks to continuing to always wear sunglasses. When [[WordOfGod Jake Soloman was asked whether the speaker was a Thin Man]], Jake only [[TeasingCreator sarcastically joked about the weird neck markings the Advent Speaker has.]]

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* Ikki in ''VisualNovel/AmnesiaMemories'' has eyes that ''look'' perfectly normal, but they actually [[spoiler:exert a supernatural force that causes women to fall for him]], so he usually keeps them covered by sunglasses for everyone's convenience.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Webcomics]]
* CharacterBlog ''Webcomic/FlowersSurroundOurSoul'': After musing about his {{Glamour}} failing to affect his four black-scleraed eyes, Lewthur receives a slew of asks asking if he could just [[InvokedTrope wear sunglasses to hide them]]. He then does a fashion montage of various cheesy sunglasses, and also attempts to hide them by brushing his hair over the top set and putting a bandanna over the bottom set, before deciding he'll just figure it out as he goes.
* Sneaky of ''Webcomic/ATaleOfFiction'' sports BlackEyesOfEvil [[MorphicResonance no matter what form he takes]]; consequently, he wears sunglasses to cover them while in human form.
* ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'': [[spoiler: Spender wears sunglasses [[https://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-7-pages-20-21 to hide his permanently black eyes]].]]
* In ''Webcomic/VanadysTalesOfAFallenGoddess'', the titular Fallen Goddess generally wears Cool Shades to hide her solid blue eyes.

[[folder:Web Video]]
* When [[EldritchAbomination the Entity]] is finally unveiled in ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'', it's found to have taken a human form in order to hide itself from Lord Vyce and (later) to toy with Linkara. Until the big reveal, it wears opaque shades at all times to conceal the fact that its eyes are just empty sockets filled with glowing grey static. [[spoiler: Plus, it's stolen the form of 90's Kid, who always wears shades anyway.]]
* ''WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}}'': A common gag in "Fix Your Pix" videos is that he'll "remove" hair or glasses that are hiding someone's eyes to get a better look at them...only to discover they're not at all human. Then he'll promptly close them again.
* In Website/SFDebris' playthrough of ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', his first character is an Imperial Agent by the name of Rex Dart. Rex is a Miraluka - an eyeless HumanAlien with the power to "see" through the Force - and given that the Empire is conscripting any Force sensitives they can get their hands on, Rex is careful to hide his true nature in order to avoid being sent to the meatgrinder that is [[AcademyOfEvil the Sith Academy]]. To that end, he wears clunky cybernetic implants over his face [[ObfuscatingDisability to make it look as if he's just a blind human]]. Much to his annoyance, though, ''everyone'' in the game seems to already know that he's an alien no matter how carefully he tries to hide it.

*At one point in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode "[[Recap/BatmanBeyondS1E7Meltdown Meltdown]]", Derek Powers has to put sunglasses on and cut a meeting short due to the artificial skin over and around his eyes starting to crack.
* ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures'': In "New Girl In Town", Betrayus has one of his ghosts possess his and President Spheros' niece so she can get info about the repository and the Tree Of Life out of Pac. Since people can tell when someone is possessed by looking at their change in eye colour and shape, Doctor Buttocks invents special contact lenses so that the victim's eyes will still resemble that of a normal Pacworld citizen.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': Big Billy only has a single eye, which he conceals behind his BlindingBangs.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Garnet has a ThirdEye due to being a [[FusionDance fusion]] between Ruby and Sapphire. She wears a visor to cover it up, possibly because humans could find it weird.
