To clarify, due to the theory of relativity, you (or any other observation frame) can never travel at the speed of light.

Even if you could travel at that speed, Time would come to a complete stop at velocity = C, and therefore (since nerve synopsis from eye to brain takes time... which is then non-existant) you wouldn't be able to see at all.

Depends on relativity. If you were in something traveling the speed of light, you would see whatever you are in normally.

If you were traveling the speed of light relative to your surroundings I think you would see time stop. I think relative time slows down as you approach the speed of light.

No one really knows though.
