eyeful

Quite a sight

An eyeful is as much as the eye can take in at once.

The word usually appears in the phrase get an eyeful, meaning to see something remarkable—often something you weren't supposed to see, particularly someone naked or scantily dressed: The towel slipped and he got an eyeful.

An eyeful can also be a strikingly attractive person.
