The Bright-eyed Ringlet is often found on damp to wet grasslands, sometimes with lots of sedges in the vegetation. However, it also occurs on dry grasslands, rocky slopes and in woodland clearings. The grass in some of these habitats may be quite tall. Several different foodplants are known, including sedges (Carex spp.), rushes (Juncus spp.), Purple Moor-grass (Molinea caerulea), Quaking Grass (Briza media), Red Fescue (Festuca rubra), and meadow-grasses (Poa spp.). The caterpillars take one or two years to develop, depending on the altitude of the breeding ground.
