I believe the answer is:

ogle

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

'eye?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'primarily obscenely greedily lecherously' is the wordplay.
'primarily' indicates taking the first letters.
'lecherously' becomes 'le' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The first letters of 'obscenely greedily' is 'og'.
'og'+'le'='OGLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ogle that I've seen before include "as lecher might do?" , "Look at inappropriately" , "Close scrutiny" , "Lecherous look" , "Perv" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
