生命長久活存,永不衰老。《老子》第五九章:「有國之母,可以長久,是謂深根固柢,長生久視之道。」《抱朴子.內篇.對俗》:「得其深者,則能長生久視。」

note that 視 here doesn't mean to see or vision, 视,活也

Editor:

One of my idiom dictionaries says
视:眼睛不花,人老眼睛就会变花,借指不衰老,指生命长存,永不衰老
Though I think the definition you have is fine since it's a metaphor for not
getting old anyways, we don't have to take it literally.
Diff:
- 長生久視 长生久视 [chang2 sheng1 jiu3 shi4] /to grow old with unfailing eyes and ears (idiom)/
+ 長生久視 长生久视 [[chang2sheng1-jiu3shi4]] /(idiom) to live forever and never grow old/
