Context, please?

Extremely minor gripe, but:
When both of my characters are male and have green eyes, in the absence of all other context by which to identify which character you're referring to, can we please avoid the phrase "the green-eyed man?"
Because "[your character] saw the green-eyed man from before pass by, and called a greeting" does not help me to know which of my characters you are talking about. Your character has met both of my male, green-eyed characters! This scene comes after a time jump, so I can't say which of my guys is out walking around, or which one should reply to your character's greeting. Does it matter? Do you have a particular character in mind?
And when I ask, could you maybe answer the question?
[/frustrated]
Additional Minirant: Also, they both have names, your character knows both of their names, and the green eyes are hardly their most unique features. One of them is a feline mutant, the other is three feet tall. Really, "green eyes" was what stood out to you/your character? ...Really?
