bleared
Fogged with tears
Bleared describes eyes or vision that are dim, watery, or unfocused—typically from fatigue, tears, or intoxication.
The word is the past participle of blear, functioning as an adjective: bleared eyes squinting at the morning light.
It's literary and old-fashioned, largely replaced by bleary in modern usage.
