gotta be soooo honest yall i'd rather read about the color of the curtains again than read another reminder that a blue-eyed character still has blue eyes
interesting and evocative descriptions of a character's eyes that can communicate their personality, mood, daily habits, and recent experiences in addition to enhancing your visualization of the scene:
pupil dilation/constriction
how much the pupils are darting/wandering around
whether the sclera is bloodshot
how open/droopy the lids are
whether that eyelid position matches the expression they're trying to convey with their smile/frown/etc
involuntary muscle twitches
dark circles from sleep loss
bruising around eye socket(s)
whether there's any gunk buildup from sickness or poor hygeine
whether anything is stuck to the lashes
any makeup/paint/etc applied around the eye and how carefully/recently
any seeing aids and if the item(s) are in good condition
injury to the eye(s) + how severe/recent + possible way(s) it happened
the list goes on
useless descriptions:
his eyes were soooo blue like omg they were blue like a bouquet of bluebonnets like a summer sky reflecting on an ocean of sapphires like wow you would not believe the blue (repeated x100 per chapter)
