Silver eye occurs because something (usually water getting into the eye) weakens the bond between the colored, rubber "cornea" in the doll's eye, and it comes loose from the clear part of the eye. Air pockets form between the two and, as a result, the eye develops a silver, reflective appearance.

Silver eye can also appear spontaneously, with no real catalyst being apparent.
