Focusing only on what is visible (Concentrating only on the appearance without understanding accurately)
I wanna describe as a word but I really don't know what it is.. What I want to write is 'A person who only focuses on what is seen' as a specific word.
Such a person can be called superficial. The Free Dictionary defines it as:
concerned with or comprehending only what is on the surface or obvious
