sightlessly
In unseeing manner
Sightlessly means without sight or without seeing—blindly.
The word describes actions performed by someone who cannot see or who acts as if unable to see: She stared sightlessly at the wall, lost in thought.
It often suggests emptiness or lack of awareness rather than literal blindness.
