Though eye contact is considered to be a tricky art to master it is very essential to bring out an effective communication. Eye contact is an effective tool to say the speaker that you are listening to the speaker. 

But eye contact is needed to be cared properly to develop proper rapport. Too much of eye contact may project you to be aggressive and too little of eye contact may project you as one who is disinterested in the entire conversation. So, it is important to master the art of eye contact.

Don’t break the eye contact:

One thing that you should never do is breaking the eye-contact. If you break the eye contact, you can find the person being disturbed. If the speaker is looking at you, then look at the speaker but don’t looking somewhere else and ignore the speaker. Automatically the pupils of the listener will dilate when an interest is aroused in the mind of the listener. Similarly, if you are interested in a person sexually then you will hold the eye contact for a little longer and start gazing at the person. Even you can know that someone is interested in you through the eye-contact.

In public speaking it is important to practice a light house beam eye-contact as not to neglect any one from taking part in the conversation. Especially if you are delivering a speech from a podium, your eye contact should oscillate like a light house beam. It should cover the entire audience in order to keep him active in the discussion.
