My Avatar's freaky eyes??? How do you fix this

Yesterday there was nothing wrong with my Avatar. Today, whenever I log in to SL the eyes are showing as darkened, almost black pits.
You can almost see the eyeball and the iris if you zoom very close. From farther away it looks as if the eyes are missing from the "blackened" sockets.

I can't seem to correct this. I've tried removing the eye skin I've been wearing for the past month just to see what would happen, but I can't find any option for removing the skin. My eyes at the moment are NO MODIFY, thanks to the skin.

Anyone have any tips on what I can do?

Create a new eye outfit from your inventory and wear it. If that does not correct the problem try rebaking the textures. If the issue still persists try clearing your cache and relogging.

I had this problem the other day, as did several other people. It's some kind of issue with the grid I imagine.

I've talked to far too many people complaining about the exact same thing for it to be simply a cache issue, which I myself clean regularly.

I put on a different set of eyes and that fixed it, but that pair I had that went darkened are still darkened. Sadly, had to throw them away.

Had a friend who thought she'd mucked up her face. Couldn't restore her eyebrows. she contacted her skin/shape creator and got another 'head tattoo' to patch in. Might be related.

I had eye problems in that it looked like I had a cast in one eye. It turned out eventually that it was a strand of hair going through the skull and just clipping the corner of the eye socket.

Unfortunately, this is widespread. I've had to replace about a dozen eyes purchased by customers in the last 3 months. Those are just the ones that contacted me about it. I'm sure there are others that just tossed them and came back to buy more since they are fairly cheap.

The pattern of dead eyes seems to be random because it affects different ones each time. Several of my customers have multiple sets of my eyes, and the ones that contacted me about issues said that they only had one set of eyes go bad while others remained unaffected. Very strange, and annoying for everyone!

Happened to me too. Freaky! I relogged and it fixed, but happened two days later. I just brought in over a hundred pairs of eyes that I finished and am afraid to put them up in my shop because I'll be fielding customer issues all day.

Yesterday my avater lost her eyes for about an hour. These were basic slider eyes, not a skin. It looked like a white oval prim had been placed over the lower 2/3 of each eyeball, giving the appearance of eyes rolled up in the head. Really freaky looking. I tried logging in again and got the same thing. Leaving the sim I was in seemed to fix it.

Is this a bug or a cache issue?

i get this often and all ya need to do is a rebake. i kinda like the evil look

This has happened to me also. It might be a missing texture issue due to grid performance lately. You can try going into edit appearance and then close the window, clear your cache, put on a different outfit including new skin and eyes then put the old one back on, rebake your textures, or ask the merchant for a new copy. I had a pair of pants that had the "missing texture" on it for a while and it was driving me mad. I basically did everything listed above and it still wouldn't show up. Finally, I just waited it out and the texture finally appeared.
