saw eye to eye

Shared a view

To see eye to eye is to agree, to share the same view on something: We don't always see eye to eye on politics, but we respect each other.

The phrase typically appears in negative constructions—people mention it when agreement is absent.

Saw eye to eye is the past tense: They never saw eye to eye about money.
