Tell me about it! I read that first response by caerula and thought to myself "this doesn't explain anything at all!" OP asks how 見える and 見られる are different and caerula says "well 見える means to be able to see but 見られる means to be able to see."
(Note: I mean to cast no aspersions on caerula's abilities. Just that the specific explanation didn't actually explain anything.)
