Spots before the eyes (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4

6

sights

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'spots' is the definition.
(sight can mean to spot or observe)

'before the eyes' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sighs' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sights that I've seen before include "Landmarks" , "Tourist attractions" , "Visual perceptions" , "Visions, views" , "they look ridiculous" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
