A certain Uzumaki chapter has a bit of this.After the Time Skip, Zoro subverts this trope by having his scarred eye permanently closed. In One Piece, several characters have scars over their eyes (such as Shanks and Rayleigh) but their eyes are perfectly functional.He just got a new one transplanted by his ninja medic teammate. But later we learn that his eye actually was destroyed. When we first see his left eye unmasked it looks like this is the case, as he has a long deep scar over it but his eye is in perfect condition. He has a scar across his left eye, but unlike most characters with eye scars, his left eye is always closed. Claw from Kimba the White Lion is a Subversion.We're led to believe that he suffered Eye Scream but when we see him after his injuries have healed his eye is perfectly fine. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Dio stabs his thumb into Jonathan's eye during a fight just to play dirty and it results in Jonathan closing his eyelid and blood running down his face.Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist has a huge scar over both his eyes from an explosion, but then the one who did blow up his face could control the explosion very precisely and probably wanted him to suffer, not to die.In Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig's final episode, when Gouda's head is shot to pieces by The Major, one of his perfectly intact eyes can be briefly seen flying out of the remains.There is a closeup of one unlucky soul caught in the explosion, and everything but his eyes disintegrates. In the Fist of the North Star movie, you get to see the nukes drop.Mello from Death Note had the entire left side of his face burned off in an explosion, yet his eye is completely intact and able to blink.He does have a piece of metal bolted to his face next to the eye, though. Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop has a big scar that goes right through his right eye, though the eyeball itself is perfectly fine.Claymore: Dae, Mad Scientist and head of the Organization's retrieval squad, still has a great round eyeball staring out of the left side of his face where he's lost all the flesh covering the bone and muscle, including the lips and eyelids.At first, her eye on that side appears to be fine but it subsequently turns out to be glass. Balalaika from Black Lagoon had half her face torn up by a frag grenade.
The idea of this basically leads to tropes like Harmless Luminescence, where eyes basically are undamaged by bright light. This makes it often possible to receive damage around the eye with little or none to the actual eyeball.Ĭharacters who aren't so lucky may end up sporting an Eyepatch of Power. Sometimes, this can be Truth in Television, thanks to the rather nifty design of the human skull, with the eye set back and largely surrounded by bony prominences in the shape of the brow, nose, and to some extent the cheekbone. This is the case pretty much whenever you see a character with a big, deep scar over their eye. In animation, this can also be used for humorous effect - completely blackening a character's face from an explosion wouldn't be nearly as funny if their eyes weren't visible to blink in astonishment. Also, as noted in the above quote, the expressiveness of the eyes can further emphasize the suffering and Facial Horror of the victim. In a medium like Film or Television, it is also sometimes due to the difficulty in realistically portraying damage to the eye - makeup can create scars, but can't be applied directly to an eye. All the same, eye damage is rarely seen in modern works, as it has become something of a taboo. This is seen often in works trying to avoid being Squicky. When even though in all likelihood one's eyes would be harmed during a fight, or in a nasty accident etc., the eyes remain, remarkably, unharmed. Arthur Conan Doyle, " The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger"
