you should somehow parent the lookatconstrain object to your model. Lets say you've made eyes on a character that uses bones. Then parent the lookat object to a bone in the head.

I use C.S, and you can't link it to either the eys or the head

If by CS yo mean Character studio then what you need to do is this. After you apply Physique to your model link the eyes to the head bone. This will ensure that they stay with the head when it moves.

Next make 2 point helpers and center them one in front of each eye, make sure they are alittle ways off the model so that you have some room.

next create an eye look at controler using splines and link the the point hlpers to it. Finaly add the look at constraints to the eyeballs so that they are pointed at the point helpers.
