Eye contact is weird stuff. I've noticed that the norm seems to be that the one listening is the one to keep eye contact, while if you're talking your eyes stray around. Occasionally you meet people who keep unbroken eye contact pretty much all the time, and it generally takes a while to figure out why this person is making you feel subtly uncomfortable. At least, that's my experience.
So are you long-sighted, then? I don't have any useful range of vision without my glasses on, I can't even read. Though I'm not as bad as D, who's well into extreme myopia and even keeps his glasses on in the bath. His focal point is the end of his nose, whereas I can't hold my eyes focused at such short range!
