They are a neat way of linking double sided board tracks where through hole plating cannot be replicated for any reason.

I have these, made by RS, but unlike an eyelet they only spread over the pad just a little at the hole edges. So they are good if the pads are intact on the board, as they are on an initial home made dual sided pcb, but not any use if the pad has lifted on a damaged pcb.
There are commercial copper copper eyelet kits for pcb repair but they are costly, compared to the brass ones I used and some cheap tools made from pot shafts.
These are some cheap eyelets:

This is a commercial pcb repair kit:

Also, commercial eyelet presses for pcb repair are expensive at $1795.00 and you have to buy the tool for each sized eyelet
