Yes - correct action is to hold your attitude, maintain the back pressure, possibly add a little power - but never never ever push fwd/release the back pressure until the main wheels are down...if it all goes pear shaped simply go-around...
If you move your gaze to the near part of the runway you still cannot judge height and will flare late...again with the possibility of a balloon & bounce or worse - wheelbarrowing in...
The correct place is at the far end of the runway..but just to the side of the nose...say 10-20deg off the runway...this allows you to judge height...its what we teach for night landings where its really hard to judge height.
Nose gear incidents usually happen because of
1. too late flare
2. incorrect action during bounce
3. trying to find the damn runway - it was there the last time you looked....ask the italian display pilot who did his nosewheel at RIAT this year....a very silly mistake...
