eyeballed

Assessed by looking

Eyeballed is the past tense of eyeball, meaning to look at something closely or to estimate by sight rather than measurement: She eyeballed the distance and figured it was about thirty feet.

To eyeball someone is to stare at them, often with suspicion or hostility: The bouncer eyeballed us as we walked in.
