wandering eyes
Attention drifts visually
Wandering eyes describes the habit of looking at attractive people other than one's romantic partner: She accused him of having wandering eyes whenever they went out.
The phrase implies disloyalty or potential unfaithfulness, though it may describe only looking rather than acting.
Sometimes used more literally for eyes that drift or don't focus together.
