glare
Angry eye contact
Glare is intense, harsh light that makes seeing difficult: the glare of oncoming headlights, sun glare off the water.
As a verb, to glare is to shine with such brightness, or to stare with fierce hostility: She glared at him across the table.
The noun works similarly—a glare can be an angry look.
Glaring describes something obvious and unpleasant: a glaring error, a glaring omission.
