([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') While the human eye was just a dish of light-sensitive cells, leaving the [[brain]] to do all of the processing, the Time Lord [[retina]] was capable of thinking on its own. As a result, on [[Gallifrey]], the retina replaced fingers as the main method of communicating with machines. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Seeing I (novel)|Seeing I]]'') The [[Eighth Doctor]]'s eyes could change [[eye colour|colour]] between [[green]], [[blue]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vampire Science (novel)|Vampire Science]]'') and [[grey]].

(novel)|Of the City of the Saved...]]'') [[Antigone (Weapons Grade Snake Oil)|Antigone]]'s dark eyes were flecked with the tell-tale [[purple]] of the [[the Homeworld|Homeworld]] high-caste.
