eyesore

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

'an unpleasant prospect' is the definition.
'eyesore' can be an answer for 'prospect' (I have seen 'Ugly prospect' mean 'eyesore' so perhaps 'prospect' could also mean 'eyesore'). I am not certain of the 'an unpleasant' bit.

'organ lesion' is the wordplay.
'organ' becomes 'eye' (eye is a kind of organ).
'lesion' becomes 'sore' (I've seen this in another clue).
'eye'+'sore'='EYESORE'

'would be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyesore that I've seen before include "Blemish" , "terrible prospect" , "Ugly sight, not nice to see" , "Hideous building" , "mess" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
