视觉 (shì jué) — sight; vision; visual (sense or perception)

Definition

视觉 (shì jué) is the general, neutral noun for the sense of sight or visual perception — the ability to see. It contrasts with 视力 (shì lì), which refers to the physical quality of eyesight (e.g., 20/20 vision), and with 目光 (mù guāng), which is a person's gaze or the figurative 'vision' of foresight. 视觉 is used for the sensory system itself, not for what you see.
