eyeballs
Spheres with pupils
Eyeballs are the spherical organs of sight that sit in the eye sockets.
The word emphasizes the physical, globular nature of the eye rather than the sense of vision itself.
In informal usage, eyeballs often means attention or views: We need more eyeballs on this website.
To eyeball something is to look at it carefully or to estimate by sight rather than measurement: I eyeballed the distance at about fifty feet.
