How it's used
Often used interchangeably with 矇 to describe vision that lacks sharp focus. While 矓 is technically the more precise character for blurred sight, many speakers prefer the simpler 矇 in casual text messages. It frequently appears in the reduplicated form 矓矓 to emphasize a persistent state of haziness.
Examples
The lens is very blurry, the photos aren't clear.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 朦, which is often used in the context of being dim or obscure in a metaphorical sense, whereas 矓 specifically targets the physical inability to see clearly.
