Saw the phrase on a blog, the meaning wasn't obvious to me

  Comments:
This entry is quite bad because of the variants of atatakai (暖かい、温かい)and me(目、眼)、and the fact that 温かい目 can be replaced with 温かく・暖かく, yielding 6 versions.

The entry version is the one found on the blog, not the one in the reference.

Might be obvious to people.
