The aorist indicative verb is coordinated with the preceding hearing and followed by the result, so it contributes a completed past action in the narrative flow.

It records John's personal act of seeing in sequence with hearing, helping explain what led him to fall down in worship.

It is not a noun, not a subject complement, and not a command; the form does not by itself define the object seen.

High: The verb belongs to John's personal witness that precedes his mistaken worship response.

Governed by the narrative sequence leading to John's falling down. The aorist reports the seeing event as a whole; the following action shows the response that must be corrected.

What does John report before falling down? He reports that he heard and saw.

Direct: The form directly supports first-person wording such as "I saw."

The witness reads ἔβλεψα in Revelation 22:8 within the clause, 'when I heard and I saw, I fell...'.

The tense-form presents the seeing as part of the event sequence, and the first person singular matches John's own testimony.

John reports hearing and seeing the vision, and that perception leads directly into his act of falling to worship.

In Revelation, seeing often serves testimony and disclosure, and here it supports John's account of receiving and responding to what was shown.

Do not infer from the verb form alone more detail about what was seen, the duration of the action, or any theological status of the seer.
