Yes, they do look at each other. Part of the puzzle IS that EVERY islander knows exactly how many blue-eyed people he sees. Each sees 9 or 10. The problem is they don't have knowledge of their own eye color (the fact that exactly 10 DO have blue-eyes is not known at the beginning.)
It is the cascade of logical assumptions based on no one committing suicide on days 1-10 that ultimately forces each of the blue-eyed islanders to know their own eye color.
