clear-sightedness
Keen mental vision
Clear-sightedness is the quality of perceiving or understanding things accurately and without illusion.
Someone with clear-sightedness sees situations as they truly are, not as they wish them to be.
The term applies both to literal visual acuity and, more commonly, to mental sharpness and sound judgment.
