eyeball

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

'look up and down' is the definition.
'eyeball' can be an answer for 'look' (eyeballing is a kind of looking). I'm not sure about the 'up and down' bit.

'i shout out loud' is the wordplay.
'i' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in other clues).
'shout out' becomes 'bawl' (I've seen this in another clue).
'loud' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'bawl' is a homophone of 'ball'.
'eye'+'ball'='EYEBALL'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyeball that I've seen before include "Stare at closely; organ" , "Watch" , "pupil found here" , "One of two in confrontation" , "Optic organ" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
