vision
Eyes at work
Vision is the faculty of sight—the ability to see.
It extends to what is seen, especially something imagined or supernatural: She had a vision of her dead grandmother.
Vision also means foresight or the ability to plan wisely for the future: a leader with vision, a vision for the company.
Someone's vision of something is their particular conception of it: his vision of a just society.
As a modifier, vision suggests idealized seeing: vision board, vision quest.
