Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a control method thereof. The mobile terminal includes a sensing unit, a display unit and a controller. The sensing unit senses a user's sight line. The display unit displays screen information. The controller controls the screen information output on the display unit, based on sight line information corresponding to the sensed user's sight line. When a user's gesture on the display unit is sensed at a time point corresponding to that when the user's sight line is sensed, the controller limits control of the screen information based on the sight line information.
