glazed over eyes

[swimming]

Hello
I was reading a poem and I need an explanation
"...and now he sees angels in his glazed over eyes"
What does the word "over" mean in the sentence above?

Thanks very much

[Ralf]

Hi swimming,

If your eyes glaze over, they're glassy and lack clear vision. This can be due to all kinds of emotions - surprise, sadness or simply a lack of sleep.
