optically
By light's path
Optically means by means of sight or light, or in terms of visual appearance.
The two samples are optically identical but chemically different.
In technical contexts, it relates to optics—the science of light and vision: optically active compounds rotate polarized light.
Something can be optically clear, optically correct, or optically enhanced.
