The Special Eyes are a community-created cosmetic item for the Pyro and Engineer. It replaces the lenses of the Engineer's default goggles and Pyro's gas mask with a pair of team-colored, glowing ones. It also adds top and bottom metal covers to each lens, making them resemble squinted eyes. The covers can rotate, open and close to match changes in the Engineer's expressions.
This item has two styles, named "Suspicious" and "Bored". The second style, "Bored", removes the item's bottom covers, creating a look that resembles a bored, blank stare, while the "Suspicious" style retains the item's original appearance.
The Special Eyes were contributed to the Steam Workshop.

- The name of this item and its original description reference a 1-800 Contacts company commercial, in which a man states that he has "special eyes".
