Answer 1

With a reciprocal pronoun: "Nos miramos a los ojos."

With a reciprocal pronoun + "el uno al otro": "Nos miramos a los ojos el uno al otro."

With a reciprocal pronoun + "mutuamente": "Nos miramos a los ojos mutuamente."

Etc.

Thank you! This is a great help =D - joshuamarc, Apr 7, 2016

Obito, would it ever be acceptable to say "Nos miramos a nuestros ojos"? I run into this all the time when I practice, for example, "Se me romperion MIS lentes." Some kind of mental block. - Winkfish, Apr 7, 2016

Yes, it is. But bear in mind that, in Spanish, we tend to use dative pronouns (se ME) more often than possessive ones (MIS). You can say what you wrote, but it's not frequently said :) - 0bito, Apr 8, 2016
