Definition
眼花缭乱 is a four-character idiom that literally means 'eyes flower and confuse'. You use it when you are so surrounded by many bright colors, moving objects, or options that you can hardly focus — like being dazzled by a carnival, a huge shop display, or a complex menu. It describes visual overload, not mental confusion.
