owl eyes
Forward-facing bird gaze
Owl eyes describes the wide, round-eyed stare of someone who looks startled, intensely focused, or unnervingly watchful—mimicking an owl's fixed gaze: She gave me owl eyes when I mentioned the missing money.
The term can also refer to large, round eyeglasses that give the wearer a similar appearance.
