Usage notes

Oczach is a grammatical inflection, not a standalone lexeme. It is used specifically after prepositions that require the locative case to refer to eyes in topical, descriptive, or spatial contexts. The corresponding common nominative form for the subject is oczy, while oczu is used in genitive constructions such as kolor oczu (the color of the eyes) or bez oczu (without eyes). As with other noun forms, correct usage depends on the preposition and the syntactic role in the sentence.
