Demo:
To create the CSS/JavaScript Eye Animation follow the steps below and watch the video tutorial:
- Add HTML
- Add CSS
- Add JavaScript
Step1.
Add HTML
Create the container with the eyeball, iris, and eyelid:
<div class="container">
<div class="eyeBall">
<div class="iris"></div>
</div>
<div class="eyeLid"></div>
<div class="lid"></div>
</div>
Step2.
Add CSS
Set the colour and the position of the background and elements:
body {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 100vh;
}
.container {
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
}
Style the eye:
.iris {
position: absolute;
width: 70px;
height: 70px;
border: 5px solid #333;
background-color: #0077b6;
border-radius:50%;
left:40px;
top:30px;
}
.iris:before {
content:"";
position: absolute;
background-color: #333;
border-radius:50%;
width:40px;
height: 40px;
top:22%;
left:22%;
}
.iris:after {
content:"";
position: absolute;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.4);
border-radius: 50%;
width:15px;
height:15px;
top:35%;
left:65%;
box-shadow: -35px 20px rgba(255,255,255,0.4);
}
.eyeBall {
position: relative;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
background-color: transparent;
border: 5px solid #333;
border-radius:100% 0;
box-shadow: inset 5px 5px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
transform: rotate(45deg);
top:-10px;
z-index:1;
overflow: hidden;
}
.eyeLid {
position: absolute;
border-top: 5px solid #333;
border-left: 5px solid #333;
border-radius:100% 0;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
top:-30px;
left:3px;
transform: rotate(45deg);
transition: .2s;
z-index:10;
}
.lid {
position: absolute;
z-index:9;
background-color: #fff;
width: 295px;
height: 270px;
border-radius:50%;
top:-248px;
left:-68px;
transition: .2s;
}
To make the eye blink add transition on hover:
.container:hover .eyeLid {
transform: rotate(-45deg) rotateX(160deg);
}
.container:hover .lid {
transform: translateY(90px);
}
Step3.
Add JavaScript
const eye = document.querySelector('.iris');
window.addEventListener('mousemove', (event) => {
const x = -(window.innerWidth / 2 - event.pageX) / 35;
const y = -(window.innerHeight / 2 - event.pageY) / 35;
eye.style.transform = `rotate(-45deg) translateY(${y}px) translateX(${x}px)`;
});
