How it's used

Focuses specifically on the physical sensation of being blinded or disoriented by intense light or rapid movement. It is rarely used as a standalone verb in casual speech and is more commonly found in compound words or descriptive phrases. When describing the feeling of dizziness or lightheadedness, people prefer using 頭暈 instead.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 頭暈, which refers to feeling dizzy or faint. While both can involve a loss of focus, 眩 is strictly tied to visual impairment caused by external light or motion.
