clap eyes on (someone or something)
To look at or see someone or something. Honestly, I loved my wife the minute I clapped eyes on her. I haven't clapped eyes on that book in weeks, so good luck finding it in my office!
lay (one's) eyes on (something)
To see or look at something, especially for the first time. I'll never forget the first time I laid eyes on my son. That sunset may be the most beautiful thing I've ever laid my eyes on. You can't just buy everything you lay your eyes on.
