"Eyes Do More Than See" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov.
In 1964, Playboy magazine approached several science fiction writers to create short-short stories based on a photograph of a clay head without ears. The selected stories — Arthur C. Clarke's "Playback", Frederik Pohl's "Lovemaking", and Thomas M. Disch's "Cephalatron" (later "Fun with Your New Head") — were published in the December 1966 issue.[1]
Playboy had rejected Asimov's story, so he submitted it to the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, which published it in April 1965. The story has since been anthologized several times and was included in Asimov's collection Nightfall and Other Stories (1969).
The story was nominated for the 1966 Nebula Award for Best Short Story.
