Cakṣurviśuddhi (चक्षुर्विशुद्धि) refers to the “perfection of the eye (of Dharma)”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 41).—Accordingly, “[The eighteen āveṇika-dharmas (‘special attributes’)]— [...] (12). The Buddha has no loss of the wisdom and the vision of deliverance.—[...] Finally, the Buddha is endowed with the perfection of the Dharma eye (dharma-cakṣurviśuddhi) and, as is said in regard to this Dharma eye, the Buddha knows the beings who enter nirvāṇa either by the gate of deliverance of emptiness or by the gate of deliverance of signlessness or by the gate of deliverance of wishlessness. He knows those who see the five aggregates, the twelve bases of consciousness and the eighteen elements, and who, by these various teachings, obtain deliverance. In this knowledge and this vision of deliverance, the Buddha has a complete and universal knowledge. This is why it is said that he has no loss of the knowledge and vision of deliverance. [...]”.
