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.
