Hello
I was reading a poem and I need an explanation
"...and now he sees angels in his glazed over eyes"
What does the word "over" mean in the sentence above?

Thanks very much

Hi swimming,

If your eyes glaze over, they're glassy and lack clear vision. This can be due to all kinds of emotions - surprise, sadness or simply a lack of sleep.
