A quick look or glance of the eye; a brief moment of eye contact or visual attention.
From 'eye' + 'glance' (from Old French glancier, possibly from Germanic glinnen meaning 'to glint'). Compound formed in Middle English for a rapid visual interaction.
In literature, poets use 'eyeglance' to describe that split-second moment when two people's eyes meet—it's considered the beginning of attraction or recognition between characters.
