[[Gallifreyan physiology|Gallifreyan]] eyes were noticeably different from [[human]] ones.

Eyes could be used to tell one's true age; in the case of [[the Doctor]], his human [[companion]]s found that they could tell, in spite of the differences caused by [[regeneration]], whether [[incarnation]]s were younger or older by looking into his eyes. [[Cindy Wu]] observed through that the [[Tenth Doctor]] was older than he looked through his eyes, and as such identified the seemingly older [[Third Doctor]] as a younger incarnation. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'') In contrast, [[River Song]] could tell that the Tenth Doctor was younger than the succeeding Doctors she was familiar with by looking into his eyes. ([[TV]]: ''[[Silence in the Library (TV story)|Silence in the Library]]'') Despite the advanced age of the [[War Doctor]], [[Clara Oswald]] noted that his eyes were younger than those of his future selves in that they were more [[hopeful]].
