»Significance of eyes?«

1. The Merovingian wants the Eyes of the Oracle in exchange for Neo.

2. Smith becomes able to ‘see’ after copying himself onto the Oracle

3. Neo loses his eyes.

4. Neo is able to ‘see’ the gold code of Smith/Bane and the machines.

I know that this is a significant theme, but I can’t seem to decode its relevance. Any thoughts?

(Sorry, I had originally posted this in the MwM Forum by mistake.)

1 & 2
When Smith did copy himself to the oracle smith could see the gold code. (I guess smith couldn't see the gold code before.)
The Merovingian could not see this gold code for himself, and he want the eyes of the oracle to see the gold code for himself. (Maybe he can copy the code for the eyes of the oracle over the code for his eyes to see it)

3 & 4
Smith/Bane damaged the eyes of Neo in an attempt te safe his own. Maybe he thougt Neo needed his eyes to see the code, which isn't. The connection between eyes and the seeing of the code isn't there, and even the Merovingian is wrong about this.
So Neo is able to see in an other way than using his eyes, but how.
