I wonder if the 2nd bit is correct. I don't see it in A or MS-O

A ~
①with wide-open eyes
②in everyone's view
③looking on helplessly
我們∼地看著房子被火燒塌了。 We looked on helplessly while our house was burned down by the fire.
◆v. at fixedly [sic]

MS-O ~
helplessly; unfeelingly:
他们眼睁睁地看着庄稼被水淹了。 They helplessly watch the crops being flooded.

Might be an idea to check a few more sources.
Diff:
- 眼睜睜 眼睁睁 [yan3 zheng1 zheng1] /to look on helplessly/to daydream/
# + 眼睜睜 眼睁睁 [yan3 zheng1 zheng1] /to look on helplessly/
+ 眼睜睜 眼睁睁 [yan3 zheng1 zheng1] /to stare blankly/to look on helplessly/to look on unfeelingly/
