Explanation:

In the Valley of the Ashes in The Great Gatsby, there is a billboard advertising the services of an optometrist by the name of Dr. T. J. Eckelburg. The billboard depicts a pair of eyes wearing glasses and becomes an important symbol throughout the novel as characters pass between Long Island and New York City. Notably, Dr. Eckelburg's eyes represent sight and the idea that everything the characters do is being symbolically "seen." The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are a pair of fading, bespectacled eyes painted on an old advertising billboard over the valley of ashes. They may represent God staring down upon and judging American society as a moral wasteland, though the novel never makes this point explicitly.
