   Sight is one of the five senses.

• Synonym官能かんのうWrittenA written term for the workings of the sense organs, but it often means carnal pleasure, as in 「官能小説」; that sensual sense is common, so it differs sharply from 「五感」.
• Related感覚機能WrittenA descriptive, academic term for the functions that perceive the outside world; 「五感」 specifically means the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.

Use 「五感」 for the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, as in 「五感で味わう」「五感を研ぎ澄ます」. For academic description use 「感覚機能」; 「官能」 often means carnal pleasure and differs greatly from 「五感」 in nuance.
