What is eyes gloss over?

Eyes gloss over is a phenomenon that occurs when there is a lack of clarity or response in the eyes. It can happen due to several reasons like exhaustion, unconsciousness, illness, or even death. This condition is characterized by a cloudy or glassy appearance in the eyes in which the pupils appear to be non-reactive. Glossy eyes occur when the surface of the eye becomes smoother and the reflection of light becomes stronger, which makes the eye appear more shiny or glossy. This happens when the tear film covering the eye becomes uniform and smooth. In some cases, eye gloss over may indicate a serious medical condition, so it is important to seek medical attention if you notice this in yourself or someone else.
