Buckles, for the benefit of those who may not know, please explain the purpose of oiling around the eyes, as seen in this photo.

Wind will cause elephants eyes to foam up and tears to run down their face. This causes the area beneath the eye to dry up and sometimes crack open.
Why the entire eye is encircled, I couldn't say, buts that's the way we taught to do it.
