What is the meaning of an "eye" system icon on Samsung devices?

Question

This is a Samsung device showing an "eye" system icon on the notification bar.

enter image description here

What does it mean?

Answer

AFAIK, it is the Samsung feature which keeps the display turned on for as long as you're looking at it. This is helpful if you're reading something off the display and don't want it to sleep.

The setting/feature can be disabled in Display Settings of the phone.
