There might be the odd occasion when a player "doesn't see" a teammate in a good position to mark a pass or receive a a handpass but in 99.9% of cases, the bloke with the ball will have seen every teammate and opponent in at least a 180 degree arc in front of him. The critical factor is whether the player's brain can evaluate the options and choose the most appropriate in the context of the player's ability to execute the kick, the target's ability to get to the ball's path, the location and ability of defenders, and the chances of a shot at goal or a long bomb succeeding.
Rather the "lower the eyes", it's "choose the right option".
I understand what you are saying, but its something that just kinda happens.
Next time you are watching a game of football, take note of it, people do it.
