Do We Need Physical Eyes to See?

In a conversation about seeing, the question arises: Do we need physical eyes to see? Rupert uses the analogy of Mary asleep in Oxford, dreaming that she is Jane on the streets of Paris. If Rupert were to speak to Jane, she would acknowledge that her eyes are required for seeing. But because Jane is a fictional dream character, she is only presuming to have physical eyes. If she could delve deeper, it would be clear she doesn’t actually possess physical eyes.
