What does the cryptic crossword clue "Seeing something, I cry out loud (7)" mean?

The definition is "Seeing something". The wordplay uses a homophone (sounds like). Sounds like [out loud] “I bawl” (cry). I suppose seeing something is to ‘eyeball’ it, but I associate the word more with staring hard, often aggressively. Edit: Ah! Thanks to Kevin for pointing out what I missed, that an EYEBALL is a ‘seeing something’! The answer is EYEBALL.

Seeing something, I cry out loud (7)
