Newbie question here. On the user interface , what are those eyes that appear on the boxes at the lower RH side of the screen? They are either open or closed, with eyelashes, and can grey out parts of the screen. They were not explained anywhere when I started the game and I don't know what they are for.

many thanks

They only show up when you're in the "move" mode. If you toggle one or more to the yellow state, that class of objects (people, buildings, decorations) will fade out and you won't be able to "grab" it to move around.

They're really cool to use for Finding a specific character who is still on an outside task, so doesn't show up in the "character locator button" list.
Using those yellow eyes, yellow out the buildings and decorations and keep the character eye white. This is a sample from Christmas, so the snow makes it not work as well, but you would see the characters "pop" out like this:
