Does it give the viewer a glazed look? (8)

I believe the answer is:

eyeglass

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'does it give the viewer a glazed look?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'give the viewer a glazed look?' is the wordplay.
'give' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the viewer' becomes 'eye' (organ which sees or views).
'a glazed look?' becomes 'glass' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'eye' put next to 'glass' is 'EYEGLASS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyeglass that I've seen before include "Monocle, or spectacles in plural" , "Aid to vision" , "Lens for aiding defective vision" .)
