Ixhuei is a condition of the eye, where the pupils are perpetually dilated.

Causes

Camopalxíhuitl

Camopalxíhuitl is normally used once as a drug by eye physicians to enlarge the pupil so they could more easily look into it for malformations. Noble ladies, however, utilize eye drops of this herb extract for purely cosmetic purposes. For those who can afford the multiple sessions, they will take on a teary doe-eyed expression that is irresistible to men.

...her eyes are unfathomably deep...

Many have difficulty seeing in bright light, as a consequence of habitually putting this juice in their eye, so go out of their way to avoid the sun.

Symptoms

One interesting side effect is the slight possibility of a change in eye colour.
Some women are belatedly realised to be allergic to the herb must deal with dissolution of mucous membranes - leading to ever after itchy eyes.

One unfathomable rumour of a symptom is that it will cause the girl to start speaking in tongues. I believe this was made-up to discourage little girls from disfiguring themselves.
But it is not like the shadow drei, I assure you

Affected Groups

There is no doubt that the substance damages a person's eye. Youths who take it have as poor an eyesight as old men and cannot properly see things even an arms length from their face.
Regardless, it is but one trick to make oneself more attractive; especially when looks are desperately needed.
