Actually they do kill with their sight, Moaning Mertle died by looking into the eyes of the Basilisk, saying that all she remembers is a pair of big yellow eyes over there by that sink(Chamber of Secrets)., The Basilisk death glance however can be avoided by indirectly looking in its eyes for example through a mirror like hermoine, water like Filch's cat, or even a ghost like Nearly Headless Nick, but the result of indirectly looking in its eyes results in complete paralysis.
