"Naked eye" means unassisted vision. You can see something without a telescope, binoculars, or some sort of vision-altering tool. It's considered different from phrases like "naked body" or "naked hands," which would just describe a body or hands without clothes on it. Ex: On a clear night, you can see Jupiter with the naked eye. Ex: The naked eye can't see all the pollution in the air. Ex: My feet felt naked after having shoes on for so long and finally taking them off.
