Meanings and usage

noun: eye, eyeball
目睭

The source tags a generic 'eye' sense for other Southern Min varieties and a specific 'eyeball' sense for Teochew (among others); colloquially 目睭 is the everyday Teochew word for 'eye' in general, so both glosses are kept rather than narrowing to just 'eyeball'.
