It's well known that the eyes are the "windows to the soul" — in fact, it's mentioned in perhaps half of the Eye Tropes we have. What does that actually mean? The suggestion is that if you stare into someone's eyes deep enough, you can glimpse their true nature. Looking into one's eyes can give one insight into what the person is thinking. At the very least, it can betray some level of emotion, and some even believe one can tell truth from lies, and determine the true nature of one's personality, simply by employing this method. On occasion, the things that we're told can be seen in someone's eyes can get really subtle or really abstract - from sadness or murderous fury all the way to humanity or the lack thereof or immense age.

Some tales, especially fantasy, associate special traits to the eyes which tell other characters and, more importantly, the reader more about the character who bears them. Most Eye Tropes, ranging from Technicolor Eyes to the likes of Blinding Bangs, serve in this capacity, if primarily on a metaphorical level. This sentiment also underlies many glasses tropes- characters with something to hide may employ Opaque Lenses, Scary Shiny Glasses, and Sinister Shades to hide (or hint at) their true nature. This broad concept covers many tropes, but the commonality is that eyes signify a character's true nature or self, whatever that may be.
