It's common to say “I see” when we understand something. And indeed, “seeing” in the Bible represents grasping and understanding spiritual things. So it makes sense that the eyes, which allow us to see, represent the intellect, which allows us to understand spiritual things. This can also be used in the negative, of course; the Bible speaks of people having eyes and refusing to see, and the Lord when He was in the world advised plucking out an offending eye. These represent a refusal to acknowledge truth, or being misled by falsity.

3556. 'And he said, Because Jehovah your God caused it to come before my face' means provision. This too becomes clear without explanation. The provision referred to here is that in which good and truths from that good are re-arranged into proper order in a person while he is being regenerated. That is to say, they are re-ordered so that they appear outwardly, or manifest themselves on the surface, as though they were genuine good and genuine truths from that good. In actual fact they are not such but, as stated above, are homeborn good and truths from this good, which serve solely to aid a person's regeneration, and so to bring in goods and truths of a grosser nature because such are conducive to his regeneration.
