My eyes are totally feminizing after a liitle more than 2 months in. The change is the puffiness of the upper eyelid - the hollow of the socket under the bone is filling in. This gives the illusion of less sunken in eyes, more suppleness and fullness to the area. It appears more 'vulnerable'.
I think it's actually mentioned on the WPATH guidelines as one of the effects of hrt along with cornea changes. Too tired to search (going to sleep), but yeah I'm rather chortle and needed to get it out there. ^_^

"starry eyes"
quite possibly the most exciting effect of HRT imo :D
Yeap Ive noticed that too...
especially when I cover my whole face except eyes,,,they look totally female
and Im like "oh thats cool"
:D
Hmm, I don't know. I haven't seen a difference with my eyes. I'd love for that to happen though because I have the worst raccoon eyes ever that make it look like I'm drugged out or exhausted all the time. If it would fill in the under the socket, I'd be all for it. Don't think I'm going to have that response, though, given the amount of time I've been on hrt.
Womanizing means something completely different than feminizing...
Congrats on the eyes! Pretty awesome.

Yah fixed! My wit levels where low. Got sleep!
Just found this in the HRT forum after quite a bit of searching.
Topic: HRT changed the shape of my eyes
"On HRT, the biggest change I noticed was my eyes. Something happened to them. They became women's eyes. Has this happened to anyone else?"
"Yes. It's the biggest change I've noticed after 3 months as far as the face is concerned."
"Actually, my eyes did change physically. Well the eyelids did. They became a lot more puffed up than they were before hormone replacement. It was pretty noticable."
"I was looking at pictures of myself pre-HRT the other day and noticed something as well. Although I thought it had more to do with a smoothing out of the areas around my eyes. I now look less "rough around the edges" in the eye area."

Yeah It's probably the most starkly obvious change (to me) and the filling out of cheeks.
ooOooOh those starry eyes...

Good example of HRT totally changing the eyes.
Go Jen!!! (Notice how her eye area appears more flush with the rest of her face and less sunken in)

You know, this "starry eye" effect (nod to jenny) is really something kind of cool. It's like your eyes look clearer, inviting, more open and glossy.
llerret - yes. That too.
If anything new fat deposits cause the look as it smooths out the darker under section of the eye causing a kind of more open eyes look. Biologically your eye does not grow and your adult skin does not shrink in this area, but the fat can change and make the lower lid shift a millimetre or two maybe through adding weight/volume, and that is again linked to fat!
The corners of my eyes use to droop down. Just yesterday I noticed that the outward corners have shifted slightly upward, and my eyes are more open now (not a metaphor I swear lol)
