Innocent mistake concerning vision (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oversight

'innocent mistake' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'concerning vision' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 'over' (both can mean relating to).
'vision' becomes 'sight' (synonyms).
'over'+'sight'='OVERSIGHT'

(Other definitions for oversight that I've seen before include "Management" , "what supervisor has" , "Supervisor's charged with this" , "Neglect" , "Got shiver due to forgetfulness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Times and the Financial Times.
