Non-verbal method of communication through eye contact is referred as occulesics.

Eye contacts can give you various kinds of messages such as:

• Someone, who is not able to look into the eyes of people, is considered as nervous, edgy and lacking in confidence.

• Not maintaining eye contact can indicate disinterest.

• When you dislike someone, you tend to avoid eye contact and the pupil size is often reduced

Looking at these examples, we come to know that our eyes can speak in variable ways. Hence occulesics are important in communication.
