all-seeing eyes

Nothing escapes notice

Eyes that perceive everything, missing nothing.

The phrase typically describes divine or supernatural vision—God's all-seeing eyes observe all human action.

It extends to surveillance systems, authority figures, or anyone who seems to notice every detail: Under the all-seeing eyes of security cameras, privacy felt impossible.

Sometimes used with ironic exaggeration: Nothing escapes Mom's all-seeing eyes.
