    Seeing refers to the cognitive process of perceiving visual information through the eyes. It involves the reception and interpretation of light waves that are emitted or reflected from objects in the environment. This sensory perception allows individuals to visually recognize and understand their surroundings, distinguish shapes, colors, and patterns, and navigate the world visually. Seeing also involves the integration of visual information with other senses to create a holistic perception of the environment.
