Power of seeing visus: sensus videndi cernendi: sensus oculorum. A short sight oculi non longe conspectum ferentes: a good sight oculi acres et acuti (which see clearly); acies incolumis: inoffensum oculorum lumen (as good as ever it was): a bad sight oculi hebetiores; obtusior or hebes oculorum acies: to lose one’s sight aspectum or oculos or oculorum lumina amittere; oculos perdere; oculis capi: to recover one’s sight oculi alicui restituuntur: anybody’s sight is growing bad visus or oculorum acies hebescit [Vid: EYE].
As a sensation conspectus (also the sphere of our view).

sight (subs.):
I. The act or sense of seeing:
1. vīsus, ūs: to impinge upon the eyes and excite the sense of s., oculos ferire v.que lacessere, Lucr. 4, 217: (a body) revealed by s. and touch, visu tactuque manifestum, Quint. 1, 4, 20: to be deprived of s., visu privari, Wyttenb. in Kr.
2. the sense, sensus videndi: Cic. de Or. 2, 87, 357 (sensus acerrimus ex omnibus sensibus est sensus videndi): so, sensus oculorum, id. Div. 1, 32, 71.
3. aspectus, ūs (strictly in relation to an object, s., as engaged in looking at something: freq. in Cic., who avoids the use of visus): all things which are objects of s., i. e. visible, quae sub aspectum veniunt, id. de Or. 2, 87, 358: cf. id. Tusc. 1, 30, 73, where aspectum amittere is applied to those who from fixing the eyes upon the sun have become incapable of seeing anything: the taste, smell, s. of fruit, pomorum gustatus, odoratus, a., id. N. D. 2, 63, 158.
4. meton.: ŏcŭlus, ŏcŭli: to lose the s. of one eye, (alterum) oculum amittere, Cic. Div. 1, 24, 48: altero oculo capi, Liv. 22, 2, extr.: the s. of his right eye was always defective, nunquam dextro o. aeque bene usus est, Nep. Han. 4: to have remarkably keen s., oculos acres atque acutos habere, Cic. Pl. 27, 66 (fig. sense).
5. ăcies, ēi (strictly, keenness of s.): more fully, acies oculorum: unimpaired (goodness of) s., incolumis a., id. Fin. 5, 28, 84 (opp. to caecitas, blindness): to elude (the keenest) s., a. fugere, id. Tusc. 1, 22, 50: the fuller form should be used where any ambiguity might arise: cf. Caes. B. G. 1, 39. Phr.: to have as keen s. as Lynceus, oculis tantum quantum Lynceus contendere posse, cf. Hor. Ep. 1, 1, 28: tam perspicacem esse quam Lynceus fuit (v.SHARP-SIGHTED ): not to have very good s., (oculis) parum acute (clare) cernere: v. TO SEE .
II. View, range of s.:
1. conspectus, ūs: to be carried out of s. of land, e c. terrae auferri, Liv. 29, 27: to come into any one's s., alicui in c. prodire, Ter. Ph. 2, 4, 3: dare se in c. alicui, ib. 2, 1, 31.
2. aspectus, us (rare in this sense): the circles which bound our s., orbes qui a. nostrum definiunt, Cic. Div. 2, 44, 92. Phr.: to live in the s. of one's fellow-countrymen (in publicity and popularity), in oculis civium vivere, Cic. Off 3, 1, 3: to get a s. of any one (coming within view in the distance), conspicari aliquem, Liv. 2, 20, init.: Caes.: Sall. (not conspicere in this sense).
III. A look, notice from seeing: aspectus: at first s. [contrasted with fuller knowledge], primo a., Cic. N. D. 2, 35, 90 (not conspectus in this sense): somewhat different is Br. 64, 200, non assidens et attente audiens sed uno aspectu et praeteriens de oratore judicat, i. e. at the very first glance, with a single look. Phr.: to know any one by s., aliquem de facie nosse, Cic. Pis. 32, 81: at first s., prima specie (lit. from the first appearance of a thing, objectively: whereas primo aspectu [v. supr.] refers to the act of looking at it, subjectively), Cic. Fin. 4, 22, 61: also, prima fronte, Quint. 7, 1, 56 (better than prima facie, which, however, occurs Gai. Inst. 4, 1): a thing wins our affection at first s., aliquid statim conspectum voluntatem conciliat amoremque adjungit, Muret. (R. and A.): to pay at s., or in cash, repraesentare pecunias, Cic. Att. 12, 25.
IV. That which is seen:
1. spectācŭlum: a pretty s., lepidum s., Pl. Poen. 1, 1, extr.: a splendid s., magnificum s., Liv. 10, 40: vSPECTACLE , SHOW .
2. spĕcies, ēi (appearance, phenomenon): novel and unwonted s., nova atque inusitata s., Caes. B. G. 2, 31: v.APPEARANCE .
3. făcies, ēi: a comely s., decora f., Plin. Pan. 56: Sil.
4. perh. aspectus: cf. Cic. Ph. 2, 29, 73, auctionis vero miserabilis aspectus, i. e. it was a pitiable s. (yet the word has not even here strictly an objective force).
5. expr. by verb or phr.: a frightful s., (acies) visu torva, Tac. G. 31: piteous s.! miserabile visu! Virg. Aen. 1, 111: here a still more surprising s. meets our eyes, hic aliud majus (nobis) objicitur, ib. 2, 199: what more delightful s. can there be? quid potest esse aspectu pulchrius? Cic. Sen. 15, 53: by this unexpected s., quo repentino objectu viso, Nep. Han. 5 (avoid, however, the use of objectus alone = species): ah me, what a s. was he! hei mihi, qualis erat! Virg. Aen. 2, 274: what sadder s. did I see ...? quid vidi crudelius? ib. 746.
I. The act or sense of seeing:
