In the context of the present definition, "recognize" might be interpreted as "identify sth that one sees".
And indeed PLC, which also has the same two glosses, includes example sentences like "I couldn't see clearly who it was." and "Can you make out these two characters."

But, as the following TP example show, the faculty of vision is not necessarily involved.
「只要認清孩子不是自己的,就不至於難以割捨,」
"As long as she is clearly aware that the child is not her own, separation should not be difficult,"

So I suggest we have at least one gloss that is purely about cognition of sth one cannot literally see.
- to be cognizant of?
- to apprehend?
- to realize?
Diff:
- 認清 认清 [ren4 qing1] /to see clearly/to recognize/
# + 認清 认清 [ren4 qing1] /to see clearly/to recognize/
+ 認清 认清 [ren4 qing1] /to see clearly/to recognize/to realize/
