unseeingly
Gaze passing through
Unseeingly means without truly seeing or registering what's before one's eyes.
The word describes looking at something while the mind is elsewhere—absorbed in thought, grief, or shock: She stared unseeingly at the wall.
The gaze is physically directed but mentally vacant.
