Eye symbolism is prevalent throughout this movie. For example, the all-seeing Orwellian eye in the opening sequence; the motif of replicants' glowing eyes; the owl's large eyes; Dr. Elden Tyrell has huge trifocal glasses that emphasize that feature of his face; eyes are important in the Voight-Kampff test; Rachael: "I wanted to see you"; Rachael: "He wouldn't see me"; Hannibal Chew's Eye World, with a mock-up of an eye above the door; Chew: "Eyes, eyes...I do only eyes"; Roy Batty: "If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes."; Roy: "Not an easy man to see, I guess"; Leon Kowalski tries to stick his fingers in Rick Deckard's eyes; Roy plays with the glass-encased eyes in J.F. Sebastian's apartment; Roy sticks his thumbs in Dr. Tyrell's eyes; Pris rolls her eyes back in her head to show only the whites; Roy: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe." The movie ends in 2020; an allusion to 20/20 vision (and perhaps hindsight). As to the significance of this proliferation, in literature, art and esotericism, the human eye is often considered the window to one's soul, thus the use of the eye-symbol in this movie could be interpreted as a key to the question of whether or not replicants have souls.
