What is meant by 'eyes right' in a marching military formation?

this happens when the Flight/platoon or company/Squadron is on parade and is marching. When marching past the parade commander or the reviewing officer (a politician/ or high ranking officer reviewing the parade as a guest), the order "EYES RIGHT!" or "EYES LEFT!" depending which side the parade commander or the reviewing officer is on. then all the soldiers in the parade will turn their eyes 90 degrees to the right, while using their peripherals to march in a strait line. The right or left marker will keep their eyes to the front depending on which side the order is called, to help the rest of the parade to keep in line. this is a gesture of acknowledgement, just like the salute to acknowledge the parade commander or the reviewing officers rank. while this order is called, the flight/platoon Sargent will salute the parade commander or the reviewing officer.
