Maybe you're taking that expression too literally. I believe it simply means to actually use your eyes before launching the aggott into the forward line (rather than kick and hope, or put it on top of the heads of the talls).

What does it actually mean?
I would have thought that every players' eyes are on roughly the same plane :
If it means looking for a passing opportunity, then why not say that? It's just another meaningless phrase that has crept into the commentators' repertoire.

I thought it meant that rather than kick long to the goal square or constantly looking for the KP forward, that you instead go for shorter passes closer to you, usually for the smaller forwards ?
