Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
The heart is affected both negatively and positively by what the eyes see.
When we look at sin, especially in the sense of longing after it, the heart can begin to lust. When we see advertising for items we never needed before, but we study them, we can begin to believe we never knew we needed them. When we look at our troubles, or at people who cause trouble, our heart can forget there is anything besides trouble.
But when we look to Jesus, our heart can see victory. When we look to Jesus, our heart can overcome the storms. When we look to Jesus, our heart can reach out to those who are in trouble and need.
It is a discipline, to make a covenant with our eyes and guard what we see. But it is well worth the discipline, as those who have done so can attest.
