keep sight of

Maintain visual contact

To keep sight of something is to continue seeing it or maintain awareness of it.

Literally, you keep sight of a child in a crowd by not letting them out of view.

Figuratively, it means to stay focused on something important: Don't keep sight of your original goals amid the chaos.

The opposite is lose sight of.
