Eye, the organ of sight or vision.

Eyes are not only useful for seeing. Other people’s eyes also tell us what they are feeling or thinking. People’s eyes express all kinds of emotions: love, dislike, surprise, fear. For example, someone who makes eyes at you likes you a lot and would like to attract you. Someone who makes sheep’s eyes at you thinks you’re wonderful too, but isn’t quite so sure of winning you. Someone who is all eyes is paying a lot of attention to something; her(his) eyes are big with wonder or concentration. If you are keeping an eye on something — for example, a mischievous child or a steak cooking under the grill — you won’t be able to pay much attention to anything else. You will probably even have to watch the television out of the corner of your eye. You keep your eyes skinned when you have to watch very carefully for something that might be difficult to see - when you are trying to find your friend in a long cinema queue, for example. Taking of friends, they are often people with whom you see eye to eye because you share many of the same opinions and tastes. That is why you are going to the same film, after all. When things are not going well in your life, you might find yourself up to your eyes in difficulties. But it’s no use crying your eyes out.
