Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
If the person looked with the intention of ejaculation, or if they knew that looking would lead to that, or if it was their habit to do so, then their action is considered intentional and they must make up the fast and perform a compensatory act.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It does not invalidate the fast if the person is confident that it will not happen.
May you be successful in all good.
