glazed eyes
Dull, unseeing gaze
Glazed eyes appear unfocused and expressionless, as if covered with a shiny film.
The look suggests someone who is exhausted, bored, intoxicated, or mentally absent: After twelve hours of driving, he stared ahead with glazed eyes.
A speaker who sees glazed eyes in the audience knows attention has wandered.
