a commentary:

this...'dependent on the eye and forms arise visual consciousness. The concurrence of the three is contact. Conditioned by contact is feeling'...continues to function for the arahant, as do...hearing, tasting, touching, smelling, cognitions......the conditioning of old kamma still at play with arahants, which is most famously illustrated by what happened to Ven Angulimala after his awakening.

Keeping that in mind we have the Buddha stating:
"What, monks, is old kamma?

"The eye [ear, nose tongue, body (touch), mind], monks, is to be regarded as old kamma, brought into existence and created by volition, forming a basis for feeling. This, monks, is called 'old kamma.' -- S iv 132 And obviously this "old kamma" is the basis for dependent on the eye and forms arise visual consciousness...[&] contact.
