glassily
In glazed manner
In a glassy manner—with a dull, unfocused, or vacant quality.
Eyes stare glassily when someone is exhausted, intoxicated, or in shock: She looked glassily at the wall, not really seeing it.
The word can also describe surfaces with an unnatural smoothness or shine: The lake stretched glassily toward the horizon.
