far away look
Eyes focused elsewhere
A far away look is an unfocused, distant expression suggesting someone's attention has drifted from their surroundings—lost in thought, memory, or daydream.
The eyes may be open but aren't really seeing what's in front of them: She got that far away look whenever anyone mentioned her hometown.
