The saying ‘the eyes are the window to the soul’ is derived from similar medical terms meaning the eyes are literally the window to what is going on inside the body. If you are blessed with youth and spectacular health your eyes are, I’m sure, clear and bright, and the skin around the orbicularis oculi area (think panda eye) evenly toned and coloured.
