Eye contact is used to initiate conversation and during the conversation itself - I get it.
But are there any other uses of eye contact? I never use it other than in those two situations.

"Looking someone in the eye" is just a phrase, not much of reality. It really means talking face-to-face rather than looking away. In fact, we spend most of our conversations looking people in the mouth, because we all lip-read more than we realize.

You don't have to maintain eye-to-eye contact more than occasionally and briefly. In fact many people find it eerie to have someone stare into their eyes.

Alright, thanks for your help.

But is eye contact ever used outside of conversation? If so, what for?

Eye contact is a complex matter. It is interpreted differently depending on culture and social context. It can mean asserting dominance or being disrespect and it can also mean showing honesty and friendliness. It can be playful or it can be creepy. It can mean mental instability or a desire to romance someone. Humans are weird.
