eye contact is that personal conection for each student bearing in mind some students do not feel comfortable with this technique, maybe shy, nervous or a cultural influence
Eye contact is also helpful because you can usually tell if the student is getting what you are saying and if they can keep up. You will get that look of "Yes I get it" or "I am very lost"
eye contact is essential in every classroom. But, i also use the student's name when addressing them with eye contact this will make the student feel comfortable.
Some students think you are issuing a challenge and you have to be careful not to wind up in a staring contest. It is good for students to know that you are engaging with them even if it is just a glance and making eye contact.
