He tilted his head at me with a quizzical look in his eyes. Those big, green eyes… stop that.
Sarah's eyes were both a deep, solid blue. There were no fuzzy brown spots or green patches to muddle everything; just two orbs containing a drop of the finest tint of ocean. Amy had only seen such a striking colour in contact lenses, but these were real.
Her twilight-black pupils were the perfect matches to the blue irises; both were painted in the same dark palette and yet they remained distinct of each other; finely cut apart like two faces of a diamond.
The egg whites, amazingly paler than her flesh were clean; not a single vein or dot or yellowish discolouration filled the expanse. There was something beautiful about those globes. Her eyes were perfect, pure.
All except for a sharp, red scratch going through each blue iris; two burning streaks of fire running through the ocean, stopping at the shimmering pupil and continuing perfectly across the other side. It was the fire that magnetized the gaze of two emeralds, the fire that marred her gentle softness.

He became lost in the baby blue irises as vast as the oceans he had just admired. She was stunning. She was as beautiful as the planet below them.

He watched her with one large dark eye, as intricate and beautiful a glistening eye as I had ever seen, with a depth in it that might lead to mystery.
— Futures in the Memories Market, by Nina Hoffman
Up close, he was gaunt and ordinary looking, except for the eyes. His spectacles were set with lenses of spaceflight-grade thickness, and through these his eyes were a perfectly lambent grey: unflecked, unmurked, even and clear. He had the eyes of a very beautiful person, trapped in resting bitch face.

The light, the heat

Naturally I still get a little embarrassed... but I can't help it! I always follow his gorgeous gaze with my own. I blame his beautiful blue eyes. Ugh. This is all so strange..."

Once again we're presented with a wholly unbelievable romantic angle. MacLean was strangely fixated on the deep feelings that develop between highly skilled agents and random women with large eyes.
