* In Breaking Dawn of the ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' series, when {{spoiler|the vampiric Bella meets Charlie for the first time after having been turned}} Alice tells her that {{spoiler|she should wear contact lenses so Charlie doesn't notice the difference in her eye-colour, but the lenses would only work for a few hours before the venom in her eyes disintegrated them, after which she'd have to change lenses.}}
* In the ''[[Modern Faerie Tales
* The [[Discworld]] gods, despite their reality-altering powers, cannot change their eyes. Said eyes always reveal something about their true nature.
** In the novel ''[[Discworld/Reaper Man|Reaper Man]]'', there's a scene where a child sees [[The Grim Reaper|Death]] in his true form as a skeleton man, whereas Death is able to make adults see him as human (or they at least convince themselves they aren't seeing a skeleton). Blacksmiths (even Death's horse needs shoeing) use blindfolds when the time comes. Knowing Death is hanging around is a pretty scary proposition.
