How it's used
Focuses specifically on visual impairment or lack of clarity in sight, often used to describe the feeling of waking up or having tired eyes. It carries a sense of haziness that prevents one from focusing properly on details. While it can describe physical objects that are out of focus, it is most frequently applied to one's own perception.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 模糊, which is a more formal or written term used for abstract concepts like vague memories or unclear situations. 矇矓 is almost exclusively reserved for physical sight and the immediate sensation of blurred vision.
