To keep an eye on is to observe something/someone carefully
To keep an eye out for means the same thing ☺️
- Inglês (EUA)
Example: Keep an eye on the baby.
This means to watch the baby.
Example: Keep an eye out for your friend.
This means to search for your friend. However, it is probably not too urgent.

@MollyR
How about "to keep a lookout for xx" and "to be on the lookout for xx"?
are they the same case? or both of them just mean trying to find something just like "to have an eye out for xx"?

@MollyR very interesting! and just for verification purposes, those 3 are all incorrect when I mean to talk about "watching/monitoring". is that right?

“To keep an eye out” means you are looking for something, but not actively. You are only watching to see if you happen to find it.
“To keep an eye on” means to watch something, for the purpose of making sure it isn’t going to do something you don’t want it to do
