Inhuman Eye Concealers

In much the same way that Blind People Wear Sunglasses, characters with strange eyes often wear some form of covering to disguise them in public: villains might use them to conceal their "Uh-Oh" Eyes, cyborgs may wear them to hide 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 Sunglasses at Night — 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 bangs.

In live-action works, this often doubles as Obscured Special Effects.

A subtrope of Hide Your Otherness. Compare and contrast with Skin-Tone Disguise.

• Naruto: Kakashi's left eye has a red iris and is adorned with tomoe symbols, which denotes he has a Sharingan, a unique genetic anomaly that grants him amazing abilities, but cannot be turned off and leaves him exhausted if used for too long. As a result, he always covers it with his forehead protector, only revealing his abnormal eye to surprise his opponents in battle.
  • Danzo Shimura is covered in bandages, including his right eye and right arm. While he has taken a lot of injuries over his long career, he's actually hiding a Sharingan of his own under that eyepatch. Unlike Kakashi, is Famed In-Story as "Kakashi of the Sharingan", Danzo only uses his Sharingan sparingly and thus manages to keep it a well-guarded secret. And those bandages over his arm also conceal another ten Sharingan eyes.
  • Ao of the Mist similarly covers his right eye with an eyepatch, concealing that he managed to steal a Byakugan and have it transplanted. the nature of the Byakugan means he doesn't need to remove the eyepatch to use its power, and in fact his eyepatch is designed to be impossible to remove so that nobody will be able to steal the eye back from him.
• Lucia Nahashi of Venus Versus Virus wears an eyepatch to hide her glowing left eye.
• Lord Darcia III from Wolf's Rain has an eye patch to hide his gold-coloured left eye, apparently the result of a family curse and being descended from wolves.

• In the Undertale fandom, the community-shared Original Character Fresh is wearing some p radical shades to hide his eyesockets (he looks like a skeleton). Why? Because he is a parasite and you can see the semi-devoured soul of his victim through them (fourth image). Pretty traumatizing. Fittingly, he removes the eyeglasses (partially or fully) when he's threatening people.

Films — Live-Action

• In Beyond the Black Rainbow, Dr. Nyle hides his Black Eyes of Evil behind colored contact lenses until he goes Ax-Crazy.
• Humma Kavula of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) 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 face has sunken black pits where his eyes would be.
• Hollow Man: after being made invisible, 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 Men in Black 3, Boris the Animal sports weird, goggle-like protrusions vaguely reminiscent of Black Eyes of Evil. While his present self commonly leaves them uncovered, his past self keeps them hidden behind aviator shades. The finale reveals that the goggles themselves are another layer of the disguise, for when Boris goes One-Winged Angel, the goggles slide off him, unveiling empty sockets.
• Ms Norman of Pokémon Detective Pikachu wears opaque sunglasses at all times to hide the fact that she's actually a Ditto and sports the Pokémon's distinctive Black Bead Eyes - apparently the only thing that a Ditto can't change.

• Who Framed Roger Rabbit: On top of wearing dark glasses, Judge Doom wears glass eyes to conceal 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 X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes, as Dr Xavier continues taking the X-Ray Vision eyedrops, his eyes begin to deform. By the halfway mark, he's forced to wear heavy wraparound shades, both to shield himself from the Sensory Overload and to conceal his unearthly Supernatural Gold Eyes. In the end, he's degenerated into full-blown Black Eyes of Evil 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

• Armageddon Force: 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 Edgar Allan Poe's short story "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 he has no eyes at all.
• In Kim Newman's Diogenes Club series, a recurring antagonist is the Undertaking, a secret society of The Men in Black who always wear dark glasses. Some of the stories hint that this is because there's something disturbing about their eyes.
• The Monks of the The Electric Church all wear wraparound shades to hide their creepy-looking mechanical eyes. As they're quite up front about being cyborgs, 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 Uncanny Valley. This is actually an early hint that 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 Ghost Finders, JC Chance acquires 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 Good Omens, the demon Crowley wears Cool Shades to hide his snakelike Hellish Pupils from humanity - and also because he has a fantastic sense of style. They melt away during his climactic charge across the burning M25, leaving the snake eyes unmasked.
• The eponymous villain of The Invisible Man usually augments his Bandaged Face 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 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 Black Eyes of Evil.
• In Brian Lumley's Necroscope series, the Wamphyri often sport vivid scarlet eyes, though most are able to conceal them while dealing with mortals. In the first book Boris Dragosani doesn't learn how, and thus spends several of the later chapters concealing his increasingly inhuman eyes behind sunglasses.
• The One Who Eats Monsters: 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.
• Ares of Percy Jackson and the Olympians wears sunglasses to cover his Fireball Eyeballs, in keeping with his Badass Biker 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 Sonja Blue 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 Star Wars Legends Expanded Universe, there is an alien race called the Miraluka, Human Aliens who are so Force Sensitive that they evolved to the point of no longer needing physical eyes. This leaves them born with only vestigial eye sockets, which they cover with cloth wrappings for the sake of not unnerving other sapient life.
• In the Through Violet Eyes series of Stephen Woodworth, the Violets are identifiable by their titular violet eyes, and pass for normal amid normal people by wearing colored contacts. At one point, Natalie Lindstrom, who works with the police to solve murders, is asked to "show her credentials," and she removes one of her contacts.
• The Twilight Saga:
  • 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.
• The Witches: Witches wear glasses to conceal their unique eye colors. The book describe this as "like fire and ice dancing together", while the live-action 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.
• Witches Abroad: The Duc of Genua, who is set up by the witch Lilith as her puppet ruler, wears sunglasses all the time because he looks human except for his eyes, that show he is in a fact a transformed frog.

Live-Action TV

• Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: A recurring character in the second season, Gordon, has the power to teleport from place to place, and the terrigen mutation that gave him the extra senses needed to navigate teleportation also gave him an Eyeless Face. In some scenes when he's interacting with Muggles, he wears sunglasses to mask the part of his face where his eyes aren't.
• Doctor Who:
  • In "The Invisible Enemy", the station manager, Lowe, is taken over by The Virus. As the infection manifests with a strange growth around the eyes, Lowe conceals his infection by donning a pair of blast goggles and telling people his eyes had been injured during the explosion, making him very sensitive to light.
  • In the 1996 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".
• Farscape:
  • 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 "Durka Returns," he has taken to covering the prosthetic with an Eyepatch of Power 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 his long hair and the patch.
  • Noranti sports a visible Third Eye that opens and glows when she's using her mystical powers. In the episode "Kansas", 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 Good Omens (2019) sports yellow snake-like 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 "Uh-Oh" Eyes. For added comedy, Crowley can be seen wearing sunglasses as early as Imperial Rome, before the invention of glasses.
• In Helix, Doctor Hiroshi Hatake hides his creepy luminescent silver eyes behind brown-tinted contacts.
• M.A.N.T.I.S.: In one episode, Miles is confronted by a group of mysterious, extradimensional The Men in Black 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.
• The Sandman (2022): The Corinthian wears sunglasses to hide the fact that his eye sockets actually house tiny mouths.
• Subverted in the short-lived 1980's sci-fi series Something is Out There.

It turns out they're criminals who have undergone Magic Plastic Surgery including eye surgery, which makes them sensitive to bright light during post-op.

Music

• In the music video to "Spectrum" by 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.

Tabletop Games

• Ars Magica: The legendary mage Quendalon took to wearing deeply hooded robes after he transformed into a faerie, as his eyes had turned to rubies. Magi in his lineage commonly wear similar robes as a cosmetic homage (so far as anyone knows).
• Mage: The Awakening: Mages in the Cult of the Doomsday Clock often get time-related Red Right Hand features from abusing magic. Sinister Shades are their standard outfit, but for many cultists, they hide eyes that have transformed to clock faces or digital watch readouts — both a Masquerade breach and a giveaway to other mages.
• Vampire: The Masquerade:
  • Members of the Salubri clan all sport a Third Eye, 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 hunted down and killed by fellow vampires inspired by the Tremere clan's propaganda campaign. 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, effectively branding them as pariahs and presumably forcing them to hide their new eyes 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 hypnotic, 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 Beast Mark). Given the need to protect the Masquerade, he usually covers them with a pair of sunglasses.
  • Another Gangrel example: the 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 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 Warhammer 40,000, the mutants known as Navigators have a Third Eye 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 will be driven mad.

• In Final Fantasy X, the Al-Bhed are labelled heretics by the luddite Church of Yevon due to their use of technology, as Yevon insists that reliance on advanced technology led to the downfall of humanity and the creation of the Eldritch Abomination 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 pupil, 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 reluctantly agrees.
• The Garleans in Final Fantasy XIV have a third eye on their forehead that can easily be concealed with some kind of headwear to make themselves indistinguishable from a Hyur, save for naturally their tall stature. Cid hides his behind his goggles, Lucia hides hers with a circlet, Drusilla wears a chain circlet over hers, to name a few examples.
• Galaxy Angel II: Lily C. Sherbet has heterochromia, having a blue right eye and a red left eye. She usually keeps her left eye hidden with her hair bangs or by wearing blue contacts because her red eye gives away that she's mixed-race and people of the Red-Eye clan are targets of Fantastic Racism.
• In Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, Visas Marr is a Miraluka and thus 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.
• In Chapter 3 of MARDEK the titular character wears a helmet to hide the glow in his eyes that appears whenever Rohoph takes over.

• The Secret World:
  • 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 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.
• Sunless Sea:
  • The Carnelian Exile always wears black-tinted spectacles and will only take them off in private - if you happen to invite her to dinner, for example. Beneath, she sports Supernatural Gold Eyes, apparently the result of being touched by the Dawn Machine.
  • The Bespectacled Admiral is immediately distinguished by the dark glasses he always wears, and it's implied that he might be hiding something supernatural under them. Except that, if you give him the Memento Mori, he removes his glasses to reveal that his eyes are blue and entirely human; he's just wearing the glasses to hide the fact that he's not in the power of the Dawn Machine.
• As with his counterpart in the original tabletop game, Beckett of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines wears sunglasses to hide the fact that he has glowing red eyes.
• Demon Hunters in World of Warcraft 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 XCOM: Enemy Unknown, 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 XCOM 2, the Advent Speaker appears to be an updated version of the Thin Man from XCOM: Enemy Unknown. 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 Jake Soloman was asked whether the speaker was a Thin Man, Jake only sarcastically joked about the weird neck markings the Advent Speaker has.

Visual Novels

• Ikki in Amnesia: Memories has eyes that look perfectly normal, but they actually exert a supernatural force that causes women to fall for him, so he usually keeps them covered by sunglasses for everyone's convenience.
• Fate/stay night: Rider's Breaker Gorgon negates the effects of her Mystic Eyes of Petrification.
• In Zero Time Dilemma, Delta wears a special pair of obscuring glasses with a double function: they allow him to view camera footage of the Decision Game participants' actions and conceal his freakish purple-and-black eyes, allowing him to keep the false guise of a disabled man called Q.

Web Animation

• In RWBY, Maidens' eyes glow when they activate their powers. Raven and Vernal pull off a "fake Maiden" trick using this trope and an inversion: one of them wears a mask to hide her glowing eyes, while the other closes her eyes to hide the fact that they aren't glowing whenever she fakes her powers.

Webcomics

• Character Blog Flowers Surround Our Soul: After musing about his Glamour failing to affect his four black-scleraed eyes, Lewthur receives a slew of asks asking if he could just wear sunglasses to hide them.

• Sneaky of A Tale of Fiction sports Black Eyes of Evil no matter what form he takes; consequently, he wears sunglasses to cover them while in human form.

Web Videos

• When the Entity is finally unveiled in Atop the Fourth Wall, 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. Plus, it's stolen the form of 90's Kid, who always wears shades anyway.
• 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 SF Debris' playthrough of Star Wars: The Old Republic, his first character is an Imperial Agent by the name of Rex Dart. Rex is a Miraluka — an eyeless Human Alien 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 the Sith Academy. To that end, he wears clunky cybernetic implants over his face 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.
